“Lukwago’s Arrest Is Just the Beginning” – Political Storm Erupts After Muhoozi Allegedly Declares “Uganda Will Be Purified,” Links Lukwago Arrest to Wider Crackdown on ‘Traitors’

Uganda's political landscape has been thrust into fresh controversy following remarks attributed to Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, which critics say have intensified concerns over the country's increasingly polarized political climate.

The comments, widely circulated on social media, allegedly linked the recent arrest of opposition figure Erias Lukwago to what Muhoozi described as a broader "rectification campaign" aimed at dealing with individuals he referred to as "traitors."

The remarks have quickly become one of the most discussed political topics in the country, drawing strong reactions from government supporters, opposition activists, legal observers, and civil society organizations.

According to the statements being shared online, Muhoozi reportedly suggested that Lukwago's arrest was only the beginning of a wider effort that could see more individuals targeted as part of what he called a mission to "purify Uganda." GET FULL STORY HERE.
