On October 4  Commander-in-Chief Yoweri Museveni appointed Maj Gen Kayanja Muhanga as the new Commander of Land Forces replacing Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, whose tweets provoked a diplomatic situation with Kenya, prompting the President to write an apology to the government of Uganda’s eastern neighbour. Museveni also apologized to Ugandans over the former Land Forces commander’s tweets.

Before the new appointment, Lt Gen Kayanja has been commanding the Operation Shuja where the UPDF together with the Democratic Republic of Congo’s military are fighting the terrorist Allied Democratic Forces- ADF in Eastern Congo.

Kayanja says that with the added responsibility that comes with the new office, this is his time to work harder and achieve more. “The new office comes with big tasks, it needs hard work, discipline, commitment, there is a lot to do” he said 

Kayanja adds that his predecessor Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has achieved a lot of thing during his time as Commander of Land Forces that he will build on . 

On whether he will still be commanding operation shujja under the new office, Lt Gen Kayanja  said that as the Commander of Lad Forces, he will still be over seeing the operation and other operations that fall under his office.

He served in the Presidential Protection Unit at the rank of private from 1986 until 1988. Following the Junior Cadet Officer Course, he served in the office of the Chief of Combat Operations, at the rank of second lieutenant. 

He was transferred to the Directorate of Military Intelligence in 1990, serving there until 1993. From 1993 until 1997, he served as the Intelligence Officer, attached to the UPDF barracks in Mubende. 

He was assigned to the Joint Anti-Terrorism Taskforce, at the rank of Captain. He was promoted through Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel and was posted to Mogadishu, Somalia, as part of the UPDF contingent to AMISOM.

After his tour of duty, he served as the Chief of the Military Police in the UPDF, until January 2014. In January 2014, Colonel Kayanja Muhanga was appointed Commander of the UPDF Operations in South Sudan.
