Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has renewed accusations against former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, alleging that he stole funds meant for road construction for more than 20 years and warning that he will face justice.
Muhoozi, son of President Yoweri Museveni, made the remarks amid renewed scrutiny of Kampala’s road infrastructure and the management of public funds.
Lukwago served as Kampala Lord Mayor from 2011 until his electoral defeat in early 2026. During his tenure, he frequently clashed with the central government over Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) funding, public contracts and the city’s persistent infrastructure challenges.
Muhoozi’s latest remarks also come amid calls for increased military oversight of Kampala’s road construction projects and efforts to address alleged corruption.
The accusations against Lukwago have not been substantiated by evidence provided in the information available for this report.

Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has accused former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago of allegedly stealing funds meant for road construction for more than 20 years, warning that he will face justice.
Muhoozi, the son of President Yoweri Museveni, made the allegations amid renewed attention on the management of Kampala’s road infrastructure and public funds.
Lukwago, a lawyer and opposition-aligned politician, served as Kampala Lord Mayor from 2011 until his electoral defeat in early 2026. During his tenure, he frequently clashed with the central government over funding for the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), alleged corruption in public contracts and persistent infrastructure challenges, including poor drainage and deteriorating roads.
Muhoozi’s remarks also come amid his recent calls for increased military oversight of Kampala’s road construction projects and a broader push to address alleged corruption.
In June 2026, Lukwago was reportedly detained on charges of misprision of treason, in a case linked to his legal representation of opposition figures.
However, Muhoozi’s accusations against the former mayor remain allegations, and no evidence establishing the claims has been provided in the information available for this report.
