No, it is not a parody account – the son of Uganda’s long-serving president did just tweet about his disappointment that Kenya’s former President, Uhuru Kenyatta, did not run for an unconstitutional third term in the recent elections, and joked (?) about invading Kenya
Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba also tweeted that he is not interested in the constitution or rule of law. “For us there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it,” he said cryptically.
Some say that Lt Gen Kainerugaba, who is known for his sometimes outspoken tweets, is being groomed to replace his father, Yoweri Museveni, as Uganda’s president.
It wouldn’t take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi.

Mr Museveni has been in power since 1986.
Since that time, Kenya has changed president three times and some Kenyans were left baffled by what Lt Gen Kainerugaba had to say. They also wondered whether everything was okay with him.
But the Ugandan then upped the ante and said his army could capture the Kenyan capital in two weeks.
Haha! I love my Kenyan relatives. Constitution? Rule of law? You must be joking! For us there is only the Revolution and you will soon learn about it!

Clearly relishing the Twitter tussle he was having he then asked: “After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?”
After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?
