He is also an officer of the Uganda Police Force with a rank of captain and he is also ASP Benjamin Njia’s assistant at Uganda Police Athletics Club.

With time they got close and got to know each other better, something which convinced her that he is the right man with all the qualities of a good husband according to Chelangat.
Benson proposed to Chelangat five years back and she said yes to him, something which she takes as one of the highlights of their relationship.
