National Security at Risk? Hon Nyeko Derrick Demands Urgent Oversight on Gen Muhoozi

In a bold and urgent move, Hon Nyeko Derrick has called for immediate parliamentary action against what he describes as troubling behavior within the top ranks of the country’s armed forces.

Specifically, the Member of Parliament has formally requested that both the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) appear before the Defence Committee to answer serious questions regarding recent conduct.

According to the MP, there is growing concern about the “erratic and unprofessional” behavior exhibited by the Chief of Defence Forces. He warns that this type of conduct could severely damage public trust in national defense institutions and undermine the core values of integrity, discipline, and accountability that the military is meant to uphold.

“This is not just about one individual’s behavior,” Hon Nyeko explained. “It’s about the kind of leadership that is being set at the very top of our military. If we do not act now, we risk allowing this to spread like a disease through our defense forces.”

Hon Nyeko’s letter stresses that such behavior doesn’t only raise red flags internally—it could also threaten national security and destabilize the delicate balance between military and civilian leadership. This, he says, is a matter of urgent national interest.

“The integrity of our armed forces is the backbone of our nation’s safety. Any action—or inaction—that endangers that must be thoroughly examined,” he added.

The MP is pushing for this matter to be handled in a transparent and accountable way, using the proper parliamentary oversight mechanisms. He believes only this route will restore public confidence and protect the institution from potential long-term damage.

The statement has already sparked debate on social media, with citizens, analysts, and other leaders weighing in. Some praise Hon Nyeko for his courage and sense of duty, while others await the response from the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Forces.

As this story unfolds, many will be watching closely to see how Parliament responds, and whether this marks the beginning of a deeper look into leadership across the country’s military institutions.
