“Mission Unstoppable We are glad to begin this Smoth Journey to White Palace together . Glory be to Uganda and Our Great Leaders,” wrote the events promoter.

But he later said he would rally other people to protest the exit of the first son from the army.
“On a second thought we shouldn’t celebrate early retirement of one of our youngest and most trained officers Muhoozi Kainerugaba,” wrote Balaam.
“As peace Loving Ugandans we shall seek permission from IGP to permit us hold demonstrations in all Major cities to force MK back to UPDF. Finish the tasks.”
