He claimed that eating pork is “abusing God,” and warned that those who continue with the practice will face punishment.
The statement has quickly sparked anger and debate across Uganda.
The Banyankore, who live mainly in western Uganda, have long enjoyed pork as part of their culture.
It is a popular dish at family gatherings, weddings, and community celebrations. Many now fear that their traditions could be criminalized.
Critics say the plan is unfair and dangerous. They argue that food is a personal choice and should not be controlled by the state.
Uganda is a diverse country with many religions and cultures, and forcing one belief on everyone could divide communities.
Some also worry that creating a police unit for such a purpose may lead to abuse of power and unnecessary arrests.
Supporters of Muhoozi’s idea believe it will protect religious values. They say leaders must defend morality and discourage practices that go against faith.
On social media, Ugandans are sharply divided. Some mock the proposal as extreme, while others defend it as a way to strengthen discipline.
As the debate grows, questions remain about whether the government will truly enforce such a ban, and what it means for freedom of choice in Uganda.
