General Muhoozi Kainerugaba is back again causing uproar amongst Kenyans after he accused a Kenyan journalist of convincing his father, Uganda President Yoweri Museveni, to ban him from Twitter.
The army general alleged on Tuesday, October 18 that the journalist, whose name he did not disclose, had asked his father to cut off his access to the popular social media platform.
Museveni had revealed on Sunday that he was aiming to correct his son after the reckless statements almost triggered frosty diplomatic relations between the two countries, noting that his aim was to suppress the bad in him so that the good remains.

He was however not clear on whether Muhoozi was to take a social media break or delete his account.
Muhoozi, while calling out the journalist, declared that he was an adult and cannot be banned by anyone from accessing the platform.
"I hear some journalist from Kenya asked my father to ban me from Twitter. Is that some kind of joke? I am an adult, and no one will ban me from anything!" he ranted.
Speaking to KTN News' Sophia Wanuna on Sunday, October 16, Museveni recognised that the African continent has its own issues but not regarding tweeting and that Muhoozi was a good general who only made a mistake.
However, he promised that his son would not talk about other countries, even Uganda's politics, in the same reckless manner he did against Kenya.
“Africa has a lot of problems and Twitting is not the most serious problem. That General [Muhoozi], is a very good officer with army things. If someone is good at something but makes a mistake in something else, you try to manage it,” he said.
“If he was tweeting on sports or things that are not controversial, that would not be a problem, but to talk about other countries, or even politics of Uganda, is what he will not do," he said.
Muhoozi had ignited fireworks on Twitter when he daringly stated that his army would capture the city of Nairobi in two weeks.
As a result, he was removed as the head of the Ugandan army and replaced by Lieutenant-General Kayanja Muhanga. However, he was promoted to full General.
Later on, he asked Kenyans to forgive his son for his remarks which caused an uproar across the East African nation.
