Indiscipline among social media handlers has continued despite the Computer Misuse Act being in place.
On several occasions, social media handlers have kept on abusing Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, whenever he exercises his right to express himself like any other person using social media.
While Gen Muhoozi exercises his rights, he has never pinpointed anyone, but the way social media bloggers turn against him, abusing him beyond boundaries, is actually worrying every peace-loving Ugandan.
If you think what Gen Muhoozi has posted on his Twitter is wrong, why don’t you either correct him on how it should have been said or ignore it and leave others to read? Remember, one man’s meat is another person’s poison.
And the funny part of it is that you call Gen Muhoozi a drunkard, yet while you are typing abusive messages to him, you are sitting at a table covered by 20 crates of beer, free from insecurity because of the hard work of Gen Muhoozi.
Mind you, there are some countries that think Uganda can never survive without them, and their belief has caused them to treat Uganda like it has no voice. This is the reason why Gen Muhoozi has to come in when it becomes too much, but look at how Ugandans react towards him without considering that.
Instead of typing abusive posts against Gen Muhoozi, why don’t you criticize those countries that Gen Muhoozi is opposing for their ill-motivated plans against our country?
What will happen if, miraculously, Gen Muhoozi is sworn in as the next President of Uganda? Will you go into exile or will you commit suicide? Instead of going through the report cards that children have brought from school, you are busy abusing Gen Muhoozi, whose tweets have not mentioned anyone by name.
