In Kashagama, Kayihura who was escorted by his bodyguards took to the road chanting “songa mbele”.

They ran from Katebe hill in Lyantonde to Nyabitanga in Ssembabule up to Kinoni in Kiruhura District.

Kayihura said the run was in honour of Muhoozi for the “patriotic he is doing for Uganda and Africa”.

Muhoozi has been quoted before saying Kayihura was one of his mentors who inspired him to join the army.

“Gen K Kayihura was one of those special cadres in the early 1990s who inspired us to serve our nation. Others were late Generals Mayombo and Kazini,” Lt Gen Muhoozi said in a tweet in December last year.

Muhoozi went on to plead with his father Gen Yoweri Museveni to forgive Kayihura for his mistakes.

“If he made mistakes, let us use revolutionary methods of work to rectify them. I request the CIC to forgive and rehabilitate him,” he added.

Kayihura served as the police chief from 2005 until 5 March 2018.

He was sacked, arrested, and later replaced by Martin Okoth Ochola.
