Kenya's top diplomat in Uganda plans to chat with General Muhoozi Kainerugaba about a news story that upset folks. Joash Maangi told everyone at a party Wednesday night he'd handle this mess. He shared his thoughts with Balaam Barugahara, who works as Uganda's kid and teen affairs minister and hangs out with the general plenty.
Our news team heard Maangi say he felt bad about what happened. "I am meeting the CDF tomorrow; we will talk about it. Unfortunately, it happened," he told Barugahara at the event. Maangi called the article "unfortunate and very bad" but hoped talking might fix things between their countries.
The two men stepped away from other guests for a serious five-minute talk. Barugahara did most of the talking while Maangi listened carefully, nodding sometimes or looking down like he was thinking hard. The Standard newspaper had called Muhoozi a "Four-Star Brat," which made his fans really mad.
Some angry supporters wanted to protest outside the Kenyan office in Kampala. The newspaper criticized Muhoozi for posting stuff on X, claiming his comments might hurt peace talks for eastern Congo. "Leaders in the East African region are pushing hard to bring peace, but their efforts could be frustrated because of fire fueled by Muhoozi," the paper wrote.
The problem got bigger when ChimpReports said the Kenyan diplomat wanted face time with Muhoozi to smooth things over. Later, The Standard posted something weird on X about Muhoozi being both tough and fun with "a taste for finer things in life." Nobody knows if they tried making things better or just kept poking fun.
Everyone watches what happens next when these two big shots meet. The general already asked for a written apology from the newspaper. This meeting might help both countries be friends again or just make everything worse between them.
