Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, recently deleted tweets in which he threatened to kill opposition leader Bobi Wine.
But CNN journalist Larry Madowo says he saved the tweets and reminded the world that nothing truly disappears from the internet.
In the deleted tweets, Muhoozi made shocking threats against Bobi Wine, a popular musician and politician. The posts caused outrage across Uganda and beyond. Many people were alarmed that someone in such a powerful position could speak so violently online.
Larry Madowo, a respected Kenyan journalist, quickly responded. He said, “Muhoozi deleted the tweets threatening to kill Bobi Wine but I kept them. You cannot erase something from the internet.” His message spread fast, with many praising him for standing up for truth and accountability.
After the backlash, Muhoozi’s Twitter account vanished for a while. Some thought it was suspended, but the Ugandan army later claimed he had deleted the tweets himself.
This incident has sparked a big conversation about online responsibility, freedom of speech, and the power of social media. Many Ugandans are asking: should leaders be allowed to make threats without facing consequences?
Larry Madowo’s bold move shows that in the digital age, even powerful people can’t hide their words. Once something is online, it can be saved, shared, and remembered forever. The internet never forgets.
