On 7 May, the Daily Monitor published an article about the so-called "Muhoozi project". It claimed that there was a conspiracy to frame, or eliminate, high-ranking members of the government who do not support a plan for Museveni's son, Brigadier Muhoozi Kainerugaba, to assume power when his father steps down.
