Ugandan
President, Yoweri Museveni, has promoted his eldest son to become his special
presidential adviser. Maj Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba who had been in charge of
the
Special Forces overseeing his father's security since 2008, was appointed to
the role after a reshuffle of army commanders on Monday night.
Speaking on
the appointment, Political commentator, and Human rights activist, Nicholas Opiyo welcomed the President's move
saying:
'Muhoozi... is
going to play a significant role in a post-Museveni Uganda, there's no doubt
about it, He is just giving the boy a hand in experiencing how government works
on the side of politics.'
However,
Muhoozi's brother, Salim Saleh, is also another presidential adviser while his
mother, the first lady of Uganda, Janet Museveni, is the Minister of education.
