Yoweri K Museveni, the President of Uganda, recently hosted a private dinner at Entebbe to celebrate the 50th birthday of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba. The event was a moment of gratitude and reflection, with Museveni expressing his thanks to both his wife, Maama Janet, and General Muhoozi for their contributions to his life and the nation.
Reflecting on his relationship with Maama Janet, Museveni recalled their accidental meeting at the Intercontinental Hotel, which led to their marriage in August 1973. He expressed his gratitude to God for bringing them together and emphasized the importance of their shared values in building a fulfilling life. Their journey, Museveni noted, has been centered around principles of wealth creation, family, education, and faith.
In his remarks, Museveni also extended his appreciation to General Muhoozi for his dedication and patriotism in serving in the army. The General’s commitment to the nation’s defense has been a source of pride for Museveni, who sees in him not only a son but also a capable leader driven by a sense of duty.
Moreover, Museveni took a moment to acknowledge the role of God and Maama Janet in raising their children. He expressed gratitude for the joy their children and grandchildren have brought into their lives, recognizing the importance of family in shaping their shared experiences and values.
