General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's First Son and senior military advisor, has once again stirred public and political controversy following a provocative post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In the post, General Muhoozi accused individuals of Indian descent of economic exploitation and media manipulation within Uganda.

"There are Indians, 'Bahindi' who have made enough money in my country. They control NTV and Monitor. Most of the time they abuse us. That is going to END!!" Muhoozi wrote in a post that quickly went viral, drawing strong reactions both locally and internationally.

The statement has triggered widespread debate, with critics calling it xenophobic and dangerous, especially given the historical tensions between Ugandans and people of Indian descent. Uganda expelled thousands of Asians, mainly of Indian origin, under Idi Amin's regime in the 1970s, a move still regarded as one of the country's most controversial actions.

He claimed that these outlets, which he alleges are under Indian control, frequently "abuse" Ugandans, though he did not specify the nature of the alleged abuse. His declaration that "this is going to END!!" has raised questions about what actions he intends to take, given his influential position within the Ugandan militaryGeneral Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's First Son and senior military advisor, has once again stirred public and political controversy following a provocative post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Both NTV Uganda and the Daily Monitor are part of Nation Media Group, a prominent East African media conglomerate based in Nairobi, Kenya.

The group, which operates across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda, has long been a critical voice in the region, often scrutinizing government policies and actions. In Uganda, both outlets have frequently published reports and editorials critical of President Museveni’s administration, drawing ire from government supporters who accuse them of bias and foreign influence.
