The Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), Gen Salim Saleh, has assured European Union diplomats in Uganda of safety amidst alleged threats against them by the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
A team of European Union (EU) member state Ambassadors, led by the EU Ambassador to Uganda, Jan Sadek, told Gen Saleh that Gen Muhoozi, in one of his controversial posts on X-platform (former Twitter), had threatened “to take us to his basement.”
The diplomats visited Gen Saleh to understand whether Northern Uganda could be part of the country’s future potential, how he sees the political development in Northern Uganda, but also at the national stage ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Their visit to the region was also to monitor key EU funded development projects.
Sadek however highlighted that the political atmosphere was already polarized and particularly stressed the growing treats coming from the CDF through his posts on social media that targeted the EU Members State Ambassadors.
Gen Saleh however downplayed the threats against the EU diplomats describing Gen Muhoozi as a “nice guy” and “not really a big issue”.
Gen Saleh, however, assured the delegates that “We shall get him (Muhoozi) on board, we shall mobilise him if it has offended you”
