President Yoweri Museveni and Commander-in-Chief of Uganda Armed Forces yesterday evening hosted 19 retiring Uganda People’s Defense Forces Generals to a farewell party Dinner at State House, Entebbe.

Museveni applauded the Generals for having served and sacrificed for their country right from the beginning when they were being paid little or no salary. He said their sacrifice has been the reason why the Army has been able to grow on a very healthy foundation.

H.E Museveni with retiring Generals at Statehouse Entebbe yesterday.

“If we first insisted on a good pay, the country would have no Army. Because we were able to provide security for our country, business has boomed,” Museveni said before cracking them up saying; “You now find people dying of ‘rich men’ diseases like gout.”
