The Commander of the Land Forces, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has explained the rationale behind his 48^th birthday celebration activities.

Several activities have in the recent three weeks organized in several parts  of the country to celebrate the 48^th birthday for Lt Gen Muhoozi.

The celebrations have left many with lots of speculations many saying the parties are meant to officially announce the First Son’s presidential ambitions.

However, meeting his supporters at the Entebbe Cricket grounds last evening, Lt Gen Muhoozi said the celebrations were meant to bring together his supporters and solidarity but importantly hope, for the people and country. Appreciating all from Bushenyi to Mbarara, Fort Portal to Kitgum, Mbale to Karamoja, for their unwavering support to him.

Muhoozi also noted that the celebrations have also helped the population appreciate the role played by the men in uniform to ensure peace and stability of the country and region at large before thanking his father the Commander-In-Chief, Gen Kaguta Museveni, for his steadfast leadership of the country but importantly overseeing the creation of a disciplined, people-centred army, the UPDF.

On Friday, lawyer Gawaya Tegulle dragged Gen Muhoozi to court for using the 48^th birthday celebrations as a launch pad for his presidential bid while still a serving UPDF officer an action to participating in elective politics; contravenes the Constitution.
