Claim
A Circulating post by Mawejje Media (Mawejje TV) claims that Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba questioned why Mulago National Referral Hospital, a government facility, charges parking fees, allegedly citing rates of UGX 1,000 for bicycles, UGX 3,000 for motorcycles, and UGX 10,000 for vehicles.
The post attributes the statement to the CDF

What We Know
•Our review found no evidence that Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba made the statement.
-The quote appears only on Mawejje TV Facebook & Tiktok posts published on 31 July 2026.
-There is no corresponding post on Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba's verified social media accounts, including his official X account @mkeinerugaba

•No official statement, speech, press release, or interview containing the remarks has been published/Found.

•No credible news organisation or verified primary source has reported the alleged statement.

The Reality:
•It is true that Mulago National Referral Hospital charges parking fees, and members of the public have always raised concerns about the charges and Why.

•It is also true that "My Man Balaam " Hon. Balaam Barugahara, the Minister of Local Government appointed in May 2026, is leading anti-corruption inspections of local government projects alongside the State House Anti-Corruption Unit. As a close associate of Gen. Muhoozi, his name has become associated with government accountability efforts.

However, there is no evidence linking Gen. Muhoozi to the circulating statement or indicating that he threatened to send Balaam to investigate Mulago Hospital's parking fees.

Verdict: FALSE
The statement attributed to Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba is fabricated.​
