Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni’s son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has suggested that Ugandans who marry women he described as nyashless should be fined.
In a statement on Thursday, February 19, 2026, Muhoozi said that authorities should identify such women nationwide and proposed that any man who chooses to marry one should pay a penalty to the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).
This comes a few days after Muhoozi stated that women wearing red dresses on Valentine’s Day could face arrest in the future.
In a statement on Saturday, February 14, 2026, Muhoozi said he observed women walking around Kampala in red attire and suggested that such actions may be linked to suspected communists.
“I saw women walking around Kampala today in red dresses. In the future, we shall arrest them as suspected communists,” he wrote.
