Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the appointment of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba as head of the Ugandan military.

General Muhoozi Kainerugaba was appointed as Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces in March 2024. Uganda plays an important role in regional security, including as the largest Troop Contributing Country to the African Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS). The UK will continue to work with the Ugandan authorities to advance our objectives.
