Ruhamya graduated alongside Ugandan Officer Cadet Bakira Ruyondo on August 5, 2026, after completing the academy’s officer commissioning course.

The programme trains officer cadets in leadership, military tactics and command.

Ruhamya’s graduation comes months after Gen Kainerugaba announced that his son had joined the academy.

“Congratulations to our own young men who have made it at the prestigious military academy pass-out. Congratulations to Commander One and family. Viva Uganda, Viva UK,” he wrote.

Sandhurst trains officers for the British Army and armed forces from other countries. Its history dates back to the establishment of the Royal Military College in 1801.
