A look at Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s Project that attracted the State media attention.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba grew rapidly in 13 years of military career in Uganda among promotions from Brigadier to Major-General of the Special Operations Unit Armed Forces.
"Muhoozi will play an important role in post-Museveni Uganda, there's no question about that," political commentator and activist Nicholas Opiyo told Reuters. "They intend to provide the son the experience of how a government operates in the world of politics," he added.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba, 42, since 2008, serves as a Special Guard, responsible for the personal safety of the President. Museveni is in power for the longest time than any other African president in history.
However, at the beginning of the year 2012, during an interview to the State Press, Muhoozi Kainerugaba said that the allegations against him being prepared for the possible substitution as a President are deliberate and inconsistent and utterly false.
Maj. Gen.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba described as "non-existent" a succession plan hitherto known as the "Muhoozi Project."
Former Intelligence Services coordinator Gen David Sejusa reported on the project in 2013 with a strong documentational basis. In this dossier, Sejusa hinted at an intractable plan for Muhoozi, the Commander of the Special Forces Unit, to replace his father as the President and for anybody standing in the way to risk being murdered.
These allegations have no foundation according to the Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo who constantly denies the so-called “project” to make Muhoozi the next president.
Moreover, Sejusa held a high postion in the government and was an MP representing the Army in the Parliament. According to Opondo, the former MP has never shown any particular interest in the gorvernment and now, all of a sudden, he has fled to the UK in 2013. Also, Opondo defends saying that Sejusa can return to the country anytime and no threats or actions to arrest him is true.
"He's a free man to return, if he's not a coward," However, the government would "deal" with Gen. Sejusa if it resorted to unconstitutional means to oppose the government," the opposition claimed.
In the plating dossier of Sejusa, it suggested the people who opposed the "Muhoozi Project" were Gen Aronda Nyakairima (RIP), former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi including the Inspector General (IGP) General Edward Kalekezi Kayihura, also known as The Kale Kayihura and the Ugandan lawyer, military officer and policemen, among others.
Muhoozi was addressing journalists at the Ministry of Defence's headquarters in Mbuya, Kampala and stated that he was happy in the army and has no ambitions to take over the presidency.
"I am very happy in the military, and if I want to participate in politics, I know the procedures to be followed," the General said and proves one more time his worth before his own efforts and dedication to his country.
Museveni came to power in 1986, emerging as the winner of a five-year guerrilla war since then, he has been flighting for the people untiringly. The man emerged as an important political figure in the military history of Uganda and shape their future.
