I Love Muhoozi More Than God And My Parents – Minister Balaam Confirms

A video circulating widely on TikTok has drawn significant public attention after Minister of Local Government Balaam Barugahara made striking remarks expressing his admiration for Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

In the viral clip, Barugahara is heard declaring that he loves Gen. Muhoozi more than both God and his own parents, comments that have generated intense discussion across social media platforms and among political observers.

The minister went on to praise the army chief for what he described as the profound impact the First Son has had on his personal and professional life. According to Barugahara, Gen. Muhoozi has performed “miracles” for him that he believes even Jesus did not accomplish in his own experience.

Barugahara further described the Chief of Defence Forces as a “generational leader” and a heaven-sent figure whose mission is to restore peace and sanity in Uganda. His remarks were made in a public setting captured on video and later shared widely on TikTok, where they quickly attracted thousands of views and reactions.

The comments have since fueled debate among Ugandans, with supporters viewing the statements as an expression of loyalty and gratitude, while critics have questioned the language used to describe a serving military officer.

Although the minister’s remarks have been widely shared online, neither he nor his office had issued any clarification or elaboration on the statements by the time of publication. Likewise, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba had not publicly responded to the comments.

Barugahara has long been regarded as one of Gen. Muhoozi’s outspoken supporters and has on numerous occasions publicly praised the military commander’s leadership and political influence. He has frequently participated in events associated with Muhoozi and has defended him against criticism from political opponents.

Gen. Muhoozi himself remains one of Uganda’s most prominent public figures, often making headlines through his activity on social media and his comments on national political issues. His supporters describe him as a transformative leader with a vision for Uganda’s future, while critics have questioned some of his public statements and political engagements.

The latest video has reignited discussion about the role of public officials in expressing personal loyalty and the extent to which political endorsements should invoke religious comparisons. Some social media users interpreted Barugahara’s remarks literally, while others argued they were intended as hyperbole to emphasize his appreciation for the opportunities and support he believes he has received.

Political analysts note that expressions of strong allegiance to influential leaders are not uncommon in Uganda’s political landscape, particularly among close allies and supporters. However, comparisons involving religion or family often generate heightened public attention because of their emotional and cultural significance.

As the video continued to circulate online, it prompted a wide range of reactions from members of the public, with some praising Barugahara’s candor and others criticizing the tone and substance of his comments.

The minister’s statements have added to the ongoing conversation surrounding Gen. Muhoozi’s growing public profile and the loyalty he commands among some political figures. Whether Barugahara will offer further clarification remains to be seen, but the viral clip has already become a major topic of discussion across social media and Uganda’s political circles.
