"Dear Kenyans, you now understand what it means to live in Uganda under Gen. Museveni and his son."

Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, has fired back at President Yoweri Museveni's son's threats to Kenya. 

In a message, Bobi Wine said the tweets by Muhoozi Kainerugaba are manifestations of what kind of a person he is.

"Dear Kenyans, you now understand what it means to live in Uganda under Gen. Museveni and his son, whom he gifted the highest military ranks and put him in charge of our land forces!" Bobi Wine stated. 

He went on to describe Muhoozi as a monster claiming that he has brutalized the Ugandan people during the tenure of his father as President.

"Sadly, beneath the senseless tweets lies a monster who brutalizes and tortures our people for fun!" he said.

Bobi Wine ran against Museveni in Uganda’s last presidential election but the youthful leaders were unable to topple the East African longest-serving president

During the election, Bobi Wine complained of torture and house arrest, a move he said hindered the freedom of expression and democracy in the neighbouring country.

In a series of tweets on Monday, Kainerugaba claimed he and the Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) could take control of Nairobi in less than two weeks.

"It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi," he tweeted.

In another tweet, he mocked Kenya's constitutional provision of presidential term limits insinuating that that does not work for Uganda.

"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!"
