Former Makindye East MP Ibrahim Kasozi has issued a strong warning to Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, saying any attempt or suggestion to target the Kabaka of Buganda would trigger a serious public reaction from Baganda.
Kasozi condemned reports of a controversial post allegedly linked to Muhoozi’s X account that suggested arresting the Kabaka and Buganda Kingdom officials, saying such remarks are dangerous and disrespectful to cultural leadership.
He stressed that the Kabaka is a powerful symbol of unity and identity for millions of Baganda, warning that any perceived intimidation would not be taken lightly, even though the community often chooses peaceful expression.Gen Muhoozi later denied authoring the post, calling it fake and reaffirming respect for the Kabaka, a clarification that helped reduce rising tensions.Kasozi welcomed the denial but urged public figures to exercise caution online, saying misinformation involving cultural institutions can quickly inflame national debate. The Buganda Kingdom has not yet officially commented on the incident.
