The graphic template belongs to the Kenyan media outlet Sauti TV Kenya, which accurately reported on the post.
Gen. Muhoozi was using playful language to publicly endorse Kenyan President William Ruto for a second term ahead of Kenya's 2027 General Election. In this context, "Batume" and "Mutume" are derived from Swahili/Luganda terminology implying a "messenger," "emissary," or "disciple".
The claim
On Friday, October 2, 2026, Gen. Muhoozi published the quote verbatim on his official X account: "Now that I have enough Batume in Uganda, I appoint Rt.Honourable Moses Wetangula as my Mutume in Kenya. He will support my President William Ruto's re-election. Tunataka Second term."
The verdict- TRUE
Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, did make this exact post on social media.
