‘PLU Is Not a Place for Disorder!’ Muhoozi Sends Strong Message to Frank Gashumba Over Pastors’ Attacks

Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has reportedly emphasised the importance of discipline and order within the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), amid growing public attention surrounding media personality Frank Gashumba’s controversial remarks about pastors and religious leaders.

The statement attributed to Muhoozi has attracted attention because of its emphasis on maintaining discipline and preventing disorder among people associated with the political organisation. It comes at a time when Gashumba’s comments about certain religious figures have generated debate across Uganda’s public sphere.

“In PLU there is order. We do not tolerate chaos and disorder,” the message attributed to Muhoozi reads, conveying a firm position on discipline and acceptable conduct within the movement.

Gashumba has recently been at the centre of discussions following his criticism of some pastors, particularly those whose activities he believes deserve public scrutiny. His remarks have drawn different reactions, with some supporting his calls for accountability among religious leaders while others question the manner in which such criticism is delivered.

The controversy has reignited debate about the boundaries between freedom of expression, accountability and personal attacks. While religious leaders, like other public figures, can be questioned about their conduct, critics also face calls to ensure their allegations are backed by evidence and presented responsibly.

Muhoozi’s reported message has consequently attracted interest among people following the dispute, particularly over whether the emphasis on order and discipline was specifically directed at Gashumba because of his comments about pastors. However, the full context of the statement and its intended target would need to be confirmed through an original, verified source.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether Gashumba has responded to the statement attributed to Muhoozi or whether the two sides have communicated directly over the controversy. His response could provide further clarity on the nature of the disagreement and whether it is likely to escalate or end with calls for restraint.

As discussions continue, the controversy places renewed attention on the relationship between political movements, influential media personalities and religious leaders in Uganda. For now, Muhoozi’s reported emphasis on discipline and order has become another talking point in the ongoing debate surrounding Gashumba’s criticism of pastors.
