@mkainerugaba@SSssebunya Do you even mind what your wife thinks when you are throwing tweets anyhow like this?
Is she tied down to you in some way?
Maybe we are missing something here.
Open Letter to the Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, @cdfupdf
Power has corrupted you completely. You now believe that wearing the uniform of the Chief of Defence Forces grants you the right to act as judge, jury, and executioner, above the Constitution, above the courts, and above the people of Uganda.
Today, June 15, 2026, your Special Forces Command operatives raided the Wakaliga home of Advocate Erias Lukwago, a prominent human rights lawyer, former Kampala Lord Mayor, and lead counsel for Dr. Kizza Besigye. They dragged him from his bedroom, blindfolded him, and spirited him away in a drone. You immediately took to social media to boast about capturing “a fool” and sending him to the infamous “basement.” This is not military discipline. This is gangsterism dressed in uniform.
General Muhoozi, you are not untouchable. The same history you ignore is watching. Dictators and their enforcers who weaponised the military against lawyers, opposition figures, and citizens have always ended in disgrace, their legacies stained with blood, their names cursed by generations. You are repeating that deadly script in real time.
Lukwago was simply attempting to serve you with court papers, a lawful process in a case involving serious allegations of abduction. Instead of respecting the court, you ordered a violent raid to intimidate and punish a man for doing his job. You mocked him publicly while he was in your custody. This is naked abuse of power. This is lawlessness at the highest level. And it shames every professional soldier who still believes in defending the nation rather than persecuting its citizens.
You are not protecting Uganda, you are endangering it..Every act of impunity like this plants deeper seeds of resentment and resistance. The people see what you are doing. The world sees it. History is recording every boast, every blindfold, every raid. The day of reckoning always comes for those who confuse military force with personal immunity.
To Honourable Erias Lukwago:
Stand strong, sir. Do not break. What they are doing to you is not a sign of their strength, it is proof of their fear. They fear the law. They fear accountability. They fear the truth you represent. Keep fighting. The courts may be slow, but truth and justice are patient and unstoppable. This dark chapter will end. The oppressors’ time is shorter than they imagine.
General Muhoozi, retrace your steps. Release Erias Lukwago. Stop turning the UPDF into a personal militia for political vendettas. Return to your constitutional duty before you drag the entire institution, the government, and the country into irreversible chaos.
Truth fears no gun.
Justice outlives every tyrant.
Signed,
Ronald Agaba Jr. 🏳️🌈🇺🇬
A Ugandan who still believes in the rule of law.
