The Ugandan military played a song praising former ruling party KANU as President Uhuru Kenyatta inspected a guard of honour before he addressed the Ugandan Parliament in Kampala today morning.

Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) played the song, “Kanu yajenga nchi,” which was popularised during the KANU era by President Daniel Torotich, whose hallmark was dictatorship. It’s not clear if State House Kenya was aware the tune would be played but Mr Kenyatta did not show any negative emotion.

The party was eventually kicked out power by NARC regime in 2002 when Uhuru Kenyatta was its candidate.

He later ditched KANU and formed The National Alliance, which swept to power in 2013 following a coalition arrangement with United Republic Party headed by deputy president William Ruto. Kenyans on Twitter went reacted to the song with anger.
