Power, secrets, and politics collide once again in Uganda’s inner circle.
In Uganda’s ever-twisting political landscape, new rumors are shaking the corridors of power — and this time, they involve two of the country’s most recognizable names.
Reports are swirling that Winnie Byanyima, the wife of opposition veteran Dr. Kizza Besigye, has been accused of leaking the birth certificate of Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni.
According to sources close to the controversy, the alleged leak revealed personal details that have fueled fresh debates about Muhoozi’s background and eligibility for future political roles.
While the claims remain unverified, social media has exploded with speculation — some calling it a political setup, others suggesting it’s a power play gone wrong.
Winnie Byanyima, currently serving as the Executive Director of UNAIDS, has not commented publicly on the matter. Her supporters insist the story is part of a smear campaign meant to damage her reputation and distract from Uganda’s growing political tensions.
Meanwhile, Muhoozi’s camp has remained silent, though insiders suggest security agencies are quietly tracing how such sensitive information could have reached the public.
This alleged leak comes at a tense moment for Uganda, where succession talk and political maneuvering have kept citizens glued to every headline. As always, the line between politics and personal lives continues to blur — and Uganda’s elite seem unable to keep their family secrets under wraps.
One thing’s for sure: East Africans love a good scandal, and this one has all the ingredients — power, betrayal, and a dash of revenge.
