My wife is ‘quiet’ but she is a ‘5-star general’ at home, says Gen Kainerugaba

"I'll conclude by once again thanking my dear wife [Charlotte Nankunda Kainerugaba]... Today we've really tortured these women. We've kept them up since 6am, me and Lt Gen [Kayanja] Muhanga. The whole day, they've not... relaxed. They've been moving with us in our programs. I thank her, first of all, for our journey together, which started 23 years ago, because... I formally joined [the army on] August 14, 1999... We had been married for three weeks, and... I was on an aircraft to [Royal Military College,] Sandhurst," Gen Kainerugaba, who was speaking at an event organised to celebrate his promotion from Lieutenant General to General, said.

According to the army chief, who was also handing over the command of Land Forces to Lt Gen Kayanja Muhanga, despite being consumed by work most of the time, his wife has been very supportive.

"So, we didn't even have a honeymoon. I went straight into that life, but she has been with me. Very, very strong supporter," he said, continuing with a witty remark about their home affairs.

"You see, she is a very quiet lady but I can assure you when we get home and the door closes [laughs], then she really becomes a five-star general,... and I have to be very, very respectful. So, gentlemen, you've kept my wife up long enough, so I urge you... at least to allow me to go before I get real problems at home today. Thank you so much."
