A throwback video of Maj Gen (Rtd) Kahinda Otafiire telling Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to prove his leadership credentials beyond being President Yoweri Museveni’s son has resurfaced amid the generals’ latest public confrontation.
In the video, Otafiire challenges Muhoozi to demonstrate to Ugandans that he is capable of leading on his own merit, rather than relying on his family connection.
The remarks have regained attention at a time when Otafiire and Muhoozi are once again publicly at odds.
On October 2, Muhoozi demanded an apology from Otafiire over remarks the minister made in Parliament, later threatening to have him arrested. Otafiire, meanwhile, has maintained his criticism of political violence and distanced himself from Muhoozi’s Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU).
The resurfaced video therefore brings back an earlier point of disagreement between the two generals: whether Muhoozi’s political future should be judged on his own record or his position as Museveni’s son. Otafiire has previously said Muhoozi has the democratic right to seek the presidency, but should win support through a competitive process rather than his family connection.
Years later, the question Otafiire raised is back in the spotlight as the two generals face another public clash.
