Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has said all government ministers must seek his permission and clearance before travelling outside Uganda.
The Chief of Defence Forces made the remarks on September 26, 2026, after questioning Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo over his official visit to Türkiye
.
“I did not clear Hon. Kasolo to visit Turkey. He will explain,” Muhoozi said in a post on X, adding that ministers must notify him before leaving the country.
He also announced that ministers who travel without his permission would face a Shs30 million fine, saying the money would be used to build roads.
Kasolo had travelled to Türkiye for engagements involving areas including trade, investment, healthcare and coffee processing.
The announcement comes amid heightened attention on Uganda-Türkiye relations following recent disagreements involving defence cooperation and Ugandan activist Fred Lumbuye.
The legal or administrative basis for the proposed Shs30 million fine and the new clearance arrangement was not detailed in Muhoozi’s post.
Kasolo’s response and whether the announced travel requirements will be formally implemented remain matters of public interest.
