Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has waded into the controversy surrounding Uganda’s General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
In his X post on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Mosiria urged the United States to forgive the Ugandan general, noting that Muhoozi is a firstborn child.
Mosiria Hillariously argued that in Africa, such children are normally treated as jokers of whatever they say and are never taken seriously.
“USA forgive Muhoozi the son of M7 for he is just a first born son and in Africa such children are normally treated as jokers in whatever they say and they are never taken serious,” Mosiria stated.

The move comes amid rising tensions between Uganda and the US over posts by General Muhoozi on X.
The senior military officer, who is also President Yoweri Museveni’s son and a Presidential Advisor on Special Operations, wrote, “My name is not Commander Mkainerugaba.My name is General Muhoozi Kainerugaba. What ‘Red line’ have I crossed according to you? You can re-evaluate whatever you want as far as our co-operation is concerned, but you will never demean and degrade us. You will never make us your slaves.”
The remarks followed a warning from the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which stated that Muhoozi had crossed a red line and that Washington must reassess its security partnership with Uganda.
The statement emphasized that the president’s son could not simply delete tweets or offer hollow apologies, noting the importance of protecting US personnel, interests, and innocent lives in the region.
Earlier, General Muhoozi had deleted posts accusing the US Embassy in Kampala of assisting opposition leader Bobi Wine’s escape.

He later clarified that he had been “fed with wrong information” and confirmed that military cooperation between the two nations would continue as usual.
While Mosiria’s tweet offered a humorous perspective, highlighting African cultural norms around first-born children speaking boldly, it also reinforced his voice in diplomatic discourse.
This is not the first time Mosiria has publicly defended individuals in high-profile controversies.
Just days earlier, he had been at the center of the Marion Naipei case, standing up for a Nairobi woman whose private video was leaked and widely circulated online.
Mosiria called for justice and the protection of personal rights, emphasizing the need to safeguard citizens against harassment and online exploitation.
At some point, Mosiria had to stand and defend himself after being bashed by Kenyans.
“Both the girl and the boy could be in the wrong. But my stand is not about taking sides; it’s about what the law says, especially on forcefully recording and sharing content without consent,” he stated.
