While in Uganda, the President is expected to hold talks with President Yoweri Museveni.

The talks will come against the backdrop of Museveni’s son Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s remarks that appeared to spark a diplomatic tiff between Kenya and Uganda.

Muhoozi had claimed that he would capture Nairobi in two weeks.

His sentiments caused an uproar on social media in both Kenya and Uganda forcing Museveni to apologise.

Museveni said that it was not correct for his son to utter such remarks.

“I am very sorry for what my son Muhoozi did. I ask our Kenyan brothers and sisters to forgive us for tweets sent by General Muhoozi, former Commander of the Land Forces,” he said on Wednesday.

Ruto is expected to travel to Tanzania on Monday.
