President Yoweri Museveni’s son Lt.Gen.Muhoozi Kainerugaba has enraged Kenyans On Twitter (KOT) with his recent barrage of tweets bordering aggression aimed at Kenya.
Kainerugaba started by praising former President Uhuru Kenyatta, terming him as an honest and intelligent man on Monday.
However, his tone took a drastic turn when he suggested Uhuru should have remained in power by running for office for the third time.
“Just spoke to my big brother, Afande Uhuru. An incredible man! I love him for his courage, honesty and intelligence! He will visit Uganda soon,” Kainerugaba tweeted.
“My only problem with my beloved big brother is that he didn't stand for a third term. We would have won easily!”

His attack took a totally different trajectory when he went for the Kenyan constitution and suggested a revolution.
"Haha! I love my Kenyan relatives. Constitution? Rule of law? You must be joking! For us there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!" he said.
Kainerugaba’s tweets turned into an onslaught when he claimed it would only take a week for him and his army to capture the capital city of Kenya; Nairobi.
He also insinuated he did not respect the territorial boundaries, as they were demarcated in the past.
"It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi," the general said.
“The borders that were established by the colonisers mean nothing to us, revolutionaries. Nairobi!”
He later tweeted two photos of the first President of Kenya Jomo Kenyatta and captioned them “He ordered us to remain one people! We will fight for his vision!:”
The president’s son pushed on with his attacks, claiming to have scared Kenyans and reduced the time he would require to conquer Nairobi by a week.
“I’m glad that I have scared you Kenyans a bit! Two weeks is long. Nairobi in one week for sure! Aided by my brothers from Carnival!” he tweeted.
After 'a few' words with KOT, Kainerugaba eased his wanton tweets and urged Kenyans to work together for the betterment of East Africa.
He also said he would not fight Kenya on his father’s warning and as such, Kenyans should relax.
"KOT, I forgive you all for the insults you have hurled against me. Please let's work together to make East Africa great!!!"
"I would never beat up the Kenyan army because my father told me never to attempt it! So our people in Kenya should relax!"
"Had a good discussion with my great father this morning. Apparently, my tweets scared Kenyans too much. He will announce the changes. There is a special prayer I shall make for our army," Kainerugaba added.
Kainerugaba is a Ugandan military commander serving as the commander of the land forces of the Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF).
What remains unclear is if Kainerugaba is in control of his Twitter account or someone has hacked it and is tweeting those remarks.
