The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, through an official statement has revealed why Gen Muhoozi received a promotion in the army even after making scandalous tweets of UPDF invading Kenya. He has also a apologized to neighbor country Kenya over attack remarks that were made by the first son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba through Social Media.

“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,” reads part of the statement
“..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.,” Mr. Museveni added
He has also informed that the only available legitimate forum of the East African Community is the Peer Review Mechanism of the African Union or confidential interactions among EAC and AU fora –

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 fora – not public comments.
Why, then, promote him to full General after these comments? 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 PanAfricanists 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.)
