President Yoweri Museveni’s son Muhoozi Kainerugaba has come out to publicly support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s BBI reggae even as his dictator father appears to lean on Ruto’s side.
Uhuru and Ruto don’t see eye to eye in matters BBI and several other issues which have strained their relationship for close to five years now.
Uhuru and Ruto’s clash was exacerbated by March 15th 2018 hand shake between the president and Raila Odinga which birthed BBI.
Ruto is strongly opposed to BBI and recently he publicly expressed his joy after Court of Appeals ruled against the initiative.
A week after Court of Appeals stopped Uhuru and Raila’s BBI reggae, Museveni’s son Muhoozi Kainerugaba decided to encourage the Kenyan president.
Kainerugaba took to Twitter to praise Uhuru saying he is a great man, he also told the Kenyan president that “no one can stop reggae”.
“Afande Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. President of Kenya and a very great man. No body can stop reggae! God bless him,” Muhoozi Kainerugaba tweeted.
Kainerugaba’s tweet rubbed Ruto’s supporters the wrong way more so because his father Museveni is seen to be supporting the Kenyan DP.
Early this month when Ruto was stopped from flying to Uganda, his ally Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi revealed that the DP wanted to met Museveni’s insiders as he prepares his State House bid in the 2022 General Election.
Ruto was to hold talks with president Museveni as his associates held separate discussions with officials of the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Speaking to the press, Sudi said their aim was to borrow political lessons from the NRM, which has ruled Uganda for more than 35 years.
With the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) set to be the DP’s political vehicle in his presidential quest, Sudi said they wanted to learn party management practices from president Museveni’s handlers.
“We’re interested in how Museveni runs NRM, because we want to follow his example when it comes to political parties,” Sudi said.
Sudi said Ruto was determined to hire president Museveni’s chief strategists because next year’s election was a do-or-die game for him.
“Ndindi and I were to meet with Museveni’s advisors. The boss had a meeting planned with the President. There’s nothing we are hiding. We don’t want a party that will die after elections like what happened to Jubilee. We have been going to different countries for this,” said the Kapseret MP.
