Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has said the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) seeks to represent Ugandans regardless of their tribal or regional backgrounds, stressing that the organisation’s focus is on people rather than their ethnic identities.

Muhoozi made the remarks while speaking about the principles and vision of PLU, saying the organisation considers all Ugandans equal and does not intend to discriminate against people based on where they come from.

“PLU stands for all Ugandans. We do not see tribes, we see human beings,” Muhoozi stated, emphasising what he described as an inclusive approach to national leadership.

He said PLU’s objective is to represent Ugandans from different parts of the country and ensure that people feel included regardless of their cultural, regional or tribal background.

According to Muhoozi, Uganda is made up of people from many different communities, but national interests should bring citizens together rather than create divisions based on identity.

He argued that political organisations should focus on issues affecting ordinary Ugandans instead of placing emphasis on tribal differences when seeking support or promoting their political programmes.

Muhoozi further stated that PLU intends to represent Ugandans wherever they come from, suggesting that the organisation’s political ambitions extend beyond any particular region or community.

“We shall represent all Ugandans, wherever they are from,” he said, presenting PLU as an organisation that seeks to appeal to people across the country.

The remarks come amid continuing political discussions about identity, regional representation and inclusion in Uganda’s political environment.

Uganda has numerous ethnic communities and cultural groups spread across different regions, making questions of national unity and equal representation important issues in political debates.

Muhoozi’s statement therefore places emphasis on the idea of a national political identity that, according to him, should bring citizens together rather than focus on their tribal origins.

He said people should be viewed first as Ugandans and human beings, rather than being defined primarily by the communities or regions from which they originate.

The message also reflects PLU’s efforts to present itself as a national organisation capable of attracting support from different parts of Uganda.

Muhoozi has increasingly used public statements to explain the organisation’s views on national issues and its intended role in Uganda’s political landscape.

His latest remarks are likely to attract attention because questions of regional and tribal representation have historically played an important role in Uganda’s politics.

By saying that PLU does not “see tribes,” Muhoozi appeared to argue that the organisation’s approach should be based on equal treatment and national inclusion.

He also suggested that representation should not be limited to people from particular communities or geographical areas, but should extend to Ugandans across the country.

The statement comes as political actors continue to discuss Uganda’s future leadership and the role different organisations could play in shaping the country’s political direction.

Supporters of Muhoozi’s position may view the remarks as a call for greater national unity, while critics may continue to examine how such commitments translate into actual political representation and practice.

Nevertheless, Muhoozi’s position is that PLU intends to build a broad base that includes Ugandans from different backgrounds and regions.

For now, his message remains focused on national inclusion, with the PLU chairman insisting that the organisation sees people as human beings first and intends to represent Ugandans regardless of where they come from.
