Museveni’s Daughter, Diana, Divorces Her Husband of 18 Years
Diana Kyaremera Kamuntu, the daughter of President Museveni, has formally ended her 18-year marriage with businessman Geoffrey Kamuntu through legal divorce proceedings.
Despite Kyaremera’s attempts to keep her personal life private, she found it necessary to speak to the public about the end of her marriage. She emphasized the importance of providing clarity on the situation for the well-being of her children.
“I have tried to keep my divorce private and out of the public sphere for the sake of my children,” Kyaremera stated.
“However, I feel the need to clarify now.”
Accompanying her statement was the presentation of the “Decree Nisi,” confirming the legal termination of her marriage, which was issued in 2022.
“As you all know, divorce is a very difficult thing, especially when there are children involved,” she added, emphasizing the emotional toll of the process.
Facing the difficulties of being apart, Kyaremera reached out to the public, seeking their assistance amid this challenging period of separation.
“I ask that the public continues to pray for my family as we move forward from this difficult time and that you will respect our privacy,” she stated.
