"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 [Muhanga replaced Kainerugaba as Land Forces commander]. 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," he said.

He added: "So, we didn't even have a honeymoon. I went straight into that life, but she has been with me. Very, very strong supporter.

"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."
