President Yoweri Museveni has celebrated his wife, Janet Kataaha Museveni’s birthday with the promise of celebrating 100 years in marriage together.
In the message posted on his Twitter wall, Museveni applauded God for the life of his wife, who also doubles as the Minister for Education, and asked for more blessings to her.
“Praise the Lord God for the life of Maama Janet and for the many blessings from God in her life. We wish her many more years of health, happiness and service. I am looking forward to reaching 100 together,” Museveni said in the message.
In response, Janet, who is celebrating her 73rd birth applauded her husband for the love he has showered her.
"Thank you," she responded.
Born on June 24, 1948, in Ntungamo, Janet Kataaha Museveni has been First Lady since 1986 when the NRM took power after the five-year Luweero bush war.
Her marriage with Museveni has seen the couple blessed with four children; Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Natasha Karugire, Patience Rwabwogo and Diana Kamuntu.
Janet has previously served as the Member of Parliament representing Ruhaama County in Ntungamo district for five years between 2011 and 2016.
She chose not to stand again.
She has previously served as the Minister for Karamoja between 2011 and 2016 before President Museveni appointed her as the Minister for Education and Sports.
Janet Kataaha Museveni was earlier this year re-appointed in the same position by the president as he announced the new cabinet.
