President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has unleashed a secret in clocking old age saying he has all the years avoided anger and alcohol.
Museveni has marked 77 years of age today, September 15.
He shares his birthday with Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) which celebrates 30 years of existence after its inception in 1991.
The President presided over URA’s Thanksgiving Ceremony at Kololo independence grounds where he made the revelation.
Museveni said for all these years he has eluded anger because when a human being gets incensed his lifespan reduces.
Museveni who was flanked by his wife Maama Janet Kataaha revealed that only his daughters had almost cut short his life when they started treating and plaiting their hair, “okwokya enviiri.”
“I told them if they wanted to see me clock 100 years of age, they should stop roasting their hair,” Museveni said.
Roasting hair in his context refers to retouching hair; a hair straightening technique used by many women in Uganda.
