Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chief of Defence Forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni, wrote on X that he wants to shut down Daily Monitor and NTV Uganda soon, pending clearance from 'Mzee'—his common name for his father.
The post drew quick backlash from critics decrying it as an attack on press freedom, while some supporters accused the outlets of unprofessional reporting.
This comes amid tensions over opposition arrests and critical coverage, echoing Uganda's past media shutdowns like the 2016 Daily Monitor raid.
