Uganda: President’s son announces his retirement from the army

The son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni – Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba – has announced his retirement from the army.

“After 28 years of service in my glorious military, the greatest military in the world, I am happy to announce my retirement,” he posted on Twitter.

Speculations said the 47-year-old could be a possible successor to his 77-year-old father, who has been in power since 1986.
