Kainerugaba's tweets exasperated many Kenyans, and the foreign minister tweeted Tuesday that he had a meeting with the Ugandan ambassador. Uganda's foreign ministry dismissed Kainerugaba's tweets in a statement that spoke of a "harmonious relationship that we value." Kainerugaba, the pillar of his father’s personal security apparatus, has been the de facto head of Uganda's military, with his allies strategically deployed in command positions across the security services, according to observers. Many Ugandans believe Kainerugaba is being groomed to replace Museveni as president, allegations the president has long denied. Kainerugaba’s associates describe him as a dedicated military officer who often eschews ostentatious displays of power and wealth.
