In a blistering late-afternoon X post that sent Uganda’s political elite scrambling for cover, Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba has delivered a thunderous warning that has left Masaka City Woman MP and State Minister Justine Nameere reeling.
“There will be ABSOLUTELY no party for AAA. We shall arrest anybody involved in that nonsense! Forgiving someone does not mean they do not have unresolved cases,” the First Son and army chief declared, his words landing like a military order across the nation.
The target of the fury? A reported “massive party” allegedly being organised by Nameere to celebrate the dramatic release of former Speaker of Parliament Anita Annet Among — the once-untouchable AAA — from months of humiliating house arrest.
Just weeks ago, Muhoozi himself had announced that President Museveni had ordered Among’s release and ruled out prosecution, declaring that “Mzee has decided to forgive her” despite her “mistakes.” The nation watched as the former Speaker, whose luxury properties were raided in a high-profile anti-corruption sweep earlier this year, walked free after more than 100 days under restriction.
But celebration, it seems, is strictly forbidden.
According to circulating reports and social media storm, Nameere — a vocal figure who once clashed publicly in the bitter speakership battles of 2026 — had begun mobilising for a high-profile bash to mark Among’s return. In political circles, the move was seen as either a bold show of loyalty or a reckless gamble in the cut-throat world of NRM and PLU power plays.
Muhoozi’s response was swift and absolute. No cake, no music, no victory dances. Anyone daring to host or attend such an event risks immediate arrest. The message was clear: mercy has limits, and the unresolved cases against the former Speaker remain a live wire.
In a panicked follow-up that only added fuel to the fire, Anita Among herself rushed to X to distance herself completely. “My brother Gen, there are no arrangements by myself or individuals associated with me to host any party. God bless!” she pleaded, effectively throwing cold water on the entire idea and leaving Nameere looking isolated.
Political watchers are calling it pure theatre — and pure power. Just months after Among’s spectacular fall from the Speaker’s chair, the raids on her homes, the public parading of her luxury vehicles, and her political isolation, the same circles that once cheered her rise are now navigating a minefield. Nameere, previously linked in public feuds involving PLU Secretary General Daudi Kabanda and the speakership race, finds herself once again in the crosshairs.
Is this the final act of a carefully managed political rehabilitation — or the opening shot of a new crackdown? Insiders whisper that the “forgiveness” was never a blank cheque. Unresolved allegations of corruption and illicit enrichment still hang in the air, and Muhoozi’s intervention signals that the First Son is keeping a tight grip on the narrative.
As night falls on Kampala, the champagne remains uncorked, the guest lists shredded, and one question echoes through the corridors of power: Who else is next on the list of those who dare to celebrate too soon?
In Uganda’s high-stakes political arena, one wrong party invitation can still land you in the basement. Nameere has been put on notice. AAA is walking a tightrope. And Gen. Muhoozi has reminded everyone who holds the remote control.
