NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!! CDF Gen Muhoozi Allegedly Orders Arrest of City Businessman Hajji Habib Kagimu

City businessman and Honorary Consul of Malaysia in Uganda, Hajji Habib Kagimu, has reportedly been arrested on the orders of Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. His detention is part of what insiders describe as a renewed war against corruption within the army.

According to reliable sources, Kagimu is being held at Makindye Military Barracks as investigations into his dealings with the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) logistics department continue. The arrest has sparked debate in Kampala, with many shocked that such a high-profile figure has been caught in the net.

Reports suggest that Kagimu’s troubles are tied to alleged questionable dealings involving the supply of goods to the army. Investigators claim that some of the supplies were “air” transactions — meaning items were paid for but never actually delivered. This has raised concerns about the misuse of public funds within the military.

The UPDF logistics department, which falls under the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs (MODVA), is a crucial arm of the army. It is responsible for procurement, transport, mobility, training, and ensuring soldiers have the necessary resources to carry out operations effectively. Any corruption in this department directly weakens the country’s defence systems.

In recent years, the logistics department has attempted reforms, including new manuals, structured training, and tighter monitoring systems. However, corruption allegations have persisted, often involving powerful businesspeople with close ties to army officials. Kagimu’s arrest signals that the CDF may be determined to clean up the system, no matter whose name is involved.

Observers say Muhoozi’s direct involvement in ordering the arrest shows a growing determination to assert control and project an image of discipline within the UPDF. Many analysts believe it also reflects internal struggles within the army as Museveni’s succession politics continue to take shape.

Kagimu is well known in Uganda’s business circles, not only for his investments but also for his diplomatic role as Malaysia’s Honorary Consul. His arrest has therefore drawn significant attention both locally and internationally. Diplomats are quietly monitoring the situation to see how it unfolds.

Meanwhile, questions remain about how deep the corruption networks in UPDF logistics run and whether Kagimu is just one of many. Insiders suggest that more arrests could follow as the investigations widen. This has created anxiety among both army officers and businesspeople who have been involved in military procurement.

Supporters of Gen. Muhoozi argue that his move is a bold step toward restoring integrity in the military, while critics claim it may also be a show of force aimed at consolidating his influence. Either way, the message is clear — no one, not even wealthy tycoons or diplomats, is untouchable.

As the investigations continue, Ugandans are waiting to see whether the case against Kagimu will reach the courts or quietly fade away, as has happened with other high-profile corruption scandals. For now, his arrest marks another dramatic twist in Uganda’s fight against graft within the powerful UPDF.
