Kampala, Uganda | Senior Presidential Advisor on Lango Affairs and Erute South MP-elect Sam Engola has hailed the 52nd birthday celebrations of Muhoozi Kainerugaba, describing them as a reflection of service, discipline, and national unity.
Engola said the birthday run held in Kampala demonstrated a growing spirit of patriotism and togetherness among Ugandans, particularly the youth. He noted that Gen. Muhoozi continues to inspire a new generation through his commitment to the country’s progress and stability.
He added that such engagements not only promote physical fitness but also strengthen social cohesion and a shared national purpose.
Engola also saluted President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, whom he credited for laying the foundation of Uganda’s peace and socio-economic transformation. He said the celebrations symbolised continuity in leadership, blending the President’s experience with Gen. Muhoozi’s energy in advancing Uganda’s future aspirations.
The “Run for Hope” event, organised by the Patriotic League of Uganda, took place on Sunday at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, attracting thousands of participants.
Held under the theme “Run for Charity, Run for Hope,” the event aimed to raise funds for vulnerable and underprivileged children, including orphans. Participants dressed in the league’s signature colours took part in a 10-kilometre race through major city routes, including Acacia Avenue, Lugogo Bypass, and Yusuf Lule Road.
The run was flagged off by Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, who also represented Gen. Muhoozi during the cake-cutting ceremony. Businessman Sudhir Ruparelia contributed Shs100 million towards the cause.
