Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has issued a warning against anyone who interferes with supporters, flags or symbols associated with the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU).

In a statement shared on his official social media account, Gen Muhoozi said individuals who attack or disrupt PLU supporters or tamper with the group’s flags and emblems would face arrest.

“You touch PLU, I will touch you too and you will not like it,” Gen Muhoozi posted, adding that anyone who touches PLU supporters or their flags and emblems would be arrested without delay.

The warning comes amid growing public attention around PLU, a political pressure group associated with Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and activities involving its supporters across different parts of the country.

Gen Muhoozi said the protection of PLU supporters and symbols was necessary to ensure that members of the group could participate in political and public activities without interference.

He emphasized that any actions targeting PLU members or their symbols would not be tolerated, warning those involved that they would face consequences.

The statement has sparked discussions among political observers and supporters, with many following developments surrounding the activities of PLU and its growing presence in Uganda’s political space.

PLU has continued to organize activities and mobilization efforts, attracting supporters who identify with its message and leadership.

Gen Muhoozi, who serves as the Commander of the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF), has frequently used his social media platforms to communicate with supporters and comment on political issues.

His latest message focused on defending PLU supporters and protecting the group’s identity, including its flags and other symbols used during public activities.

The warning comes at a time when political groups in Uganda continue to prepare for increased public engagement ahead of the country’s upcoming political activities.

Supporters of PLU have previously held meetings, rallies and mobilization events in different areas, promoting the group’s ideas and leadership.

Gen Muhoozi’s statement appeared to be directed at individuals who may attempt to disrupt such activities or target PLU members because of their association with the group.

He said law enforcement should take action against anyone found attacking supporters or interfering with PLU property and symbols.

The message has attracted reactions from different sections of the public, with some focusing on the implications of the warning and others discussing the role of political groups in Uganda.

PLU officials and supporters have continued to emphasize the importance of loyalty, organization and unity among members of the movement.

The group’s supporters have also continued to promote PLU activities through meetings, social media platforms and other forms of engagement.

As political discussions continue, Gen Muhoozi’s latest warning highlights the growing attention surrounding PLU and its activities across the country.

The coming days are expected to reveal how different stakeholders respond to the statement and whether further discussions emerge regarding the protection of political supporters and symbols.

For now, Gen Muhoozi has made his position clear that any person who interferes with PLU supporters, flags or emblems should expect immediate action.
