First son Lt General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has flagged off his 48th birthday marathon at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala.
While seeing off the runners, the Commander of UPDF Land Forces, said he was thankful for the tremendous support shown by the big turn up.
“This is not about me, it’s about all of you. If you don’t look after your country, no one will. As UPDF, we are happy for the support. It shows that we are a people’s army,” he said.
According to Muhoozi, although it is not easy to make it on weekends, people have positively responded to his 48th birthday run.
“The country is on fire. Bushenyi was on fire. Let’s meet in Lugogo for some more fun,” he said.
Paul Taremwa, the President of the Patriots Club Uganda, and Patriots Club Patron, Andrew Mwenda awarded Muhoozi for his ‘revolutionary leadership’ and role in creating peace.
The run will climax with a concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala this evening.
