In 2022, Gen Muhoozi’s 48th birthday celebration was held in Kampala and was attended by President Paul Kagame.
Gen. Muhoozi is going to celebrate his birthday in Rwanda after announcing that citizens of Rwanda and Uganda are proud of the good relations between the two countries.
He announced this at a thanksgiving event ‘named Rukundo Egumeho’ held in Kabale district in south western Uganda where citizens of both countries met to celebrate the re-opening of the border between two countries and resumption of vibrant activity at Gatuna Border Post.
Part of the activities included a friendly football game played between Kigezi Select and Gicumbi FC at Kigezi High School playground hosted in Kabale District. The game ended with a 4-2 score in favour of the Ugandan side.
Dozens of musicians from both Rwanda and Uganda, including Massamba Intore, Bebe Cool, Spice Diana, will perform at the birthday.
In March 2022, the Gatuna Border Post between Rwanda-Uganda, located in Gicumbi District, was officially fully reopened after three years of closure, following different discussions between both countries mainly backed by Kainerugaba.
Gen Muhoozi is considered as one of the people who played a role in refreshing the relationship between Rwanda and Uganda, after a period of dormancy.
