Veteran journalist and spokesperson of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), Mr Andrew Mwenda, has revealed General Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s next public engagement channel after Quitting microblogging platform, X.
The pronouncement made yesterday (Friday) in Fort Portal, has been code named as the “Fort Portal Incident,” drawing parallels to China’s historic Xi’an Incident.
“A group of UPDF officers insisted the CDF ( Chief of Defence Forces) quits X until the reform and transformation of the army is complete,” Mwenda revealed.
He described Gen Muhoozi as a professional soldier, patriot, and Pan-Africanist who prioritized the good of the UPDF, Uganda, and the region.
“Gen Muhoozi recognized the need to dedicate his attention to the professionalization of the military and conceded to the officers’ request,” he further said.
In a strategic shift, Mwenda revealed that Gen Muhoozi will now engage the public through a monthly podcast called ‘The Muhoozi-Mwenda Dialogue.’
Hosted by Mwenda, the podcast will delve into history and strategic-level discussions on current affairs. The first episode is slated for January 28th and will premiere on YouTube, with television stations invited to bid for broadcasting rights.
Mwenda emphasized that the new show will allow Gen Muhoozi to share his insights and vision without the distractions of social media.
“This podcast will redefine how we engage on critical matters affecting Uganda and the region,” he noted.
The move marks signifies CDF Muhoozi’s commitment to public engagement even after quitting X.
