Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba Responds to Fake News "Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba is Sick and at the Point of Death".


God Blesses Me Whenever Enemies Claim I'm Dead - Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

A Kenyan blogger announced yesterday that Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the incoming Commander of Land Forces, was ill and admitted in Nairobi. Several other fake news vendors shared the post while others claimed he had died.

On Monday morning, Muhoozi responded to the false news saying it is not the first time his enemies announced him as dead.

Muhoozi who is also the Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations and outgoing Commander of the Special Forces (SFC), said he had learnt of the fake news from his friend Alan Kasujja, a BBC correspondent.

He said God blesses him instead whenever he is announced as dead.

“Some friends of mine like @kasujja told me that some enemies were declaring me dead, or very ill from Covid-19. I’m very well. This is the third time in my military career that enemies are claiming I’m dead. The funny thing is every time they do that, Almighty God blesses me more,” Muhoozi tweeted.

It has become the habit of several fake news vendors to declare Ugandan leaders and members of the business community as dead.

On Saturday night, viral alarmist posts claimed President Museveni had been airlifted to Germany for treatment while others claimed his helicopter has been seen in Nairobi delivering him to the Kenyan capital for treatment.

The following day on Sunday 28 June, the President officiated the virtual World Health Summit partly hosted physically at Speke Resort Munyonyo.

The same day Hajj Bulaimu Kibirige, commonly known as BMK and the proprietor of Hotel Africana, was announced as dead.

Hotel Africana, in a tweet, dismissed the announcement as fake.

Fake News is given traction by unsuspecting Ugandans who fall for it as true and share it on WhatsApp groups and other social media platforms. It affects families and friends of the targeted individuals.

Falsely announcing fellow human beings as dead is against the culture and customs of the Ugandan people and Africans in general. Individuals who partake in such acts are referred to as witches.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
