Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi, former Minister for children’s affairs and current 3rd FUFA vice president, celebrated her 25th marriage anniversary with her husband, Deogratius Kiyingi.
The couple renewed their vows on their 25th anniversary at Rubaga Cathedral on Monday.
While speaking about their 25 years together, Kiyingi said it was a great achievement because women like Nakiwala, who have stuck around for quite a long time, are hard to find these days.
“These 25 years that we have spent in holy matrimony is quite a big thing because many women these days don’t last long. We are therefore grateful to God and the Virgin Mary for seeing us through. Besides, you need to keep refurbishing your woman so that she continues to look good,” said Kiyingi.
The former minister, who was wearing a big smile on her face like it was her first time going to walk down the aisle, couldn’t hide her excitement. She also said that women need to be looked after constantly so that they look good and that is why he has been able to stay with her husband for a long time because he cares about her.
“I have today just made the legal 18 years plus also 25 years in a holy marriage. “I’m so happy and grateful to Mother Mary for such a great achievement,” the ex-Minister said.
The couple got married in 1997 and have five children together: three boys and two girls.
