On October 4, 2024, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba took on his X handle a controversial post that attracted mixed reactions both locally and internationally. In his post, he stated, “If the current Ambassador of America to Uganda does not issue an apology to Mzee personally for his undiplomatic behavior in our country, we will demand he leaves Uganda.”

The past serving Army commander and the President for the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT), General Mugisha Muntu, has on some occasions asked General Muhoozi to retire from the army if he is to engage in politics.

The construction of the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs headquarters represents a significant step towards the professionalization of the UPDF, guided by the president’s vision.

"Part of the problem with Africans is that they look at the Army as a job. The Army is not a job; it’s an obligation to defend your country. When you are defending your country, it’s not a job. Don’t bring careerism in the Army. You have an obligation to defend the country."
