Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, on Saturday, April 1, threatened to deploy the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) to track down the goons who invaded the Northlands farm in Kiambu County associated with the family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The controversial leader took to Twitter to praise the retired Head of State as his 'big brother' and condemned the incident which occurred during the Azimio la Umoja demonstrations on Monday, March 27.
He claimed that as a result, he would deploy the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) to protect Uhuru and would track down as well as beat up the goons responsible for storming the farm.
"My big brother's farm was attacked by hooligans the other day. We will send UPDF to protect him. We will beat those hooligans to a pulp!" he wrote.
He further claimed that his father turned down his request to protect the Northlands farm, expressing concerns regarding the raid as well as the loss of property.
Muhoozi believed that he would deploy 200 UPDF soldiers to the farm to restore order and while explaining his reason for his intent, he turned him down.
"I asked Mzee to deploy me as the OC (Officer Commanding) at Northlands. All we need is 200 UPDF soldiers to bring order. He asked me why? I told him that Kenyans need a good beating. He refused," he added.
The Northlands Farm located in Ruiru along the Eastern Bypass was attacked by unknown goons during the anti-government protests and were said to have cut down trees, made away with at least 1,400 sheep, and later a portion of the property burn down.
Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki gave a report of the two invasions that occurred on the same day: at former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's East Africa Spectre gas company and at former President Uhuru's Northlands property.
"In Ruiru within the periphery of Nairobi, mobs of about 2,000 criminals stormed private property belonging to the family of a retired President of Kenya where they vandalized the farm, stole livestock, set fires and attempted to construct makeshift houses ostensibly to occupy the land.
"A smaller gang attempted to storm a business in the Industrial Area of Nairobi which is associated with a former Prime Minister of Kenya, who is the principal leader of the current protests," he went on.
Kindiki however clarified that while the quick action of the police and private security guards repulsed the Industrial Area criminals, action to protect the Ruiru property was not as quick owing to operational constraints caused by the protests that were taking place.
Muhoozi sparked controversy on October 2022 over remarks he made on Twitter that almost triggered a diplomatic confrontation between Kenya and Uganda.
