Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has asked Kenyans for “forgiveness” after his son – a senior military officer – tweeted about invading their country.
His apology came a day after he sacked Muhoozi Kainerugaba as commander of the army’s land forces.
But Mr Museveni softened the blow by promoting him to the rank of general, and retaining him as his adviser.
Mr Museveni has long been suspected of grooming the 48 year old to succeed him when he eventually steps down.
General Kainerugaba has increasingly been entering the political arena, with his critics saying this was in breach of the military’s code of discipline
