General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has once again captured public attention after speaking openly about his planned visit to Kenya and his relationship with Kenyan President William Ruto.
In his remarks, Muhoozi described President Ruto as his “big brother” and emphasized the deep bond between Uganda and Kenya.
He revealed that in the coming months, he plans to travel to Kenya to meet President Ruto. According to Muhoozi, the visit will be centered on strengthening ties and reinforcing the long-standing friendship between the two neighboring countries.
In a statement that surprised many, Muhoozi admitted that he may have made mistakes in the past. He said that if any of his previous actions or words caused offense, he is ready to take responsibility for them.
This admission was seen by many as a rare moment of humility from a leader known for his boldness.
Using cultural language, Muhoozi said he is ready to “pay cows” for his errors. In many African traditions, offering cows is a symbol of apology, reconciliation, and respect. His choice of words reflected a deep appreciation for African customs and values.
Muhoozi explained that acknowledging mistakes is not a sign of weakness. Instead, he believes it shows maturity and commitment to peace.
