‘I apologize to Kenya on behalf of General Muhoozi’ - President Museveni
Museveni's letter to Kenyans
Dear Ugandans, the brotherly People of Kenya and all
East Africans.
I greet all of you. Again, I hail the
peaceful elections that took place in Kenya recently
where H.E. William Ruto emerged winner. I, again,
congratulate him on that victory.
I ask our Kenyan brothers and sisters to forgive us for
tweets sent by General Muhoozi, former Commander
of Land Forces here, regarding the election matters in
that great country. It is not correct for Public officers,
be they civilian or military, to comment or interfere in
any way, in the internal affairs of brother countries.
The only available legitimate forum is the Peer Review
Mechanism of the African Union or confidential
interactions among us or EAC and AU for not
public comments.
WHY PROMOTE HIM?
This is because this mistake is one aspect where he has acted negatively as a Public officer. There are, however, many other positive contributions the General has made and can still make. This is a time tested formula discourage the negative and encourage the positive. Very sorry, ndugu zetu Wakenya
Also sorry to the Ugandans who could have been annoyed by one of their officials meddling in the affairs of brother Kenya. I know for a fact that General Muhoozi is a passionate PanAfricanist. However, the correct method for Pan Africanists is confidential interactions or using the available fora (EAC and AU), especially if you are a
Public officer.
I have conveyed all those views confidentially to H.E. Ruto, the President of Kenya.
Signed:
YK Museveni (Gen. Rtd.)
