CDF Like Muhoozi Kainerugaba to Take over During State of Emergency Under UPDF Amendment Bill 2025?
0The UPDF Amendment Bill 2025 has sparked significant debate in Uganda, particularly concerning the role of the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) during a state of emergency. A claim by Ruthie on Acoli Pro Evo TV suggested that the bill would allow CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba to assume control during such emergencies.
While the bill indeed expands military authority, including provisions for trying civilians in military courts under specific circumstances , it does not explicitly state that the CDF would take over governance during a state of emergency. However, the bill's provisions have raised concerns among critics about potential overreach and the concentration of power within the military hierarchy.
Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the current CDF and son of President Yoweri Museveni, has publicly praised the bill, referring to its supporters as "fearless patriots" . This endorsement has further fueled discussions about the military's role in Uganda's governance and the implications of the bill for civil-military relations.
In summary, while the UPDF Amendment Bill 2025 enhances the military's legal framework, it does not explicitly grant the CDF authority to take over during a state of emergency. Nonetheless, the bill's broader implications continue to be a subject of public scrutiny and debate.
