Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has apologised to Kenya’s President William Ruto over tweeted threats about invading the neighbouring country and capturing its capital in two weeks.

In his Thursday evening apology, the general said he had never had any problem with President Ruto.

He added: “If I made a mistake anywhere, I ask him to forgive me as his young brother.”
Mr Museveni has long been suspected of grooming his 48-year-old son to succeed him when he eventually steps down, an allegation he has always denied.
