Museveni and First Lady Janet Museveni cut the cake to celebrate the President's 70th birthday

President Museveni and his closest family members have today celebrated his 70thbirthday, Chimp Corps report.

The President and First Lady Janet Museveni cut a cake at their country home inRwakitura, Kiruhuura District on Sunday.

A brief ceremony and prayers were held to celebrate the President's life.

Museveni was born "about" 1944, according to his book, Sowing the Mustard Seed.

The exact date of his birth remains a mystery as his parents only based on historical events to determine his birthday.

"I use the word 'about' because my parents were illiterate and so did not know the date. In such circumstances, dates were associated with events," wrote Museveni in his book published in 1997.

"In my case, my parents had two events for dating the approximate time of my birth."

At a recent function, Museveni said he was born at Mbarara hospital and his sister, Dr. Violet Kajubiri, at Rubaare in 1949.

According to the President's Special Communications Assistant, Sarah Kagingo, Museveni today paid great tribute to his wife Janet during the function.

"I derive a lot of happiness and purpose from family. It is part of eternity to have children. You pass on the torch," said Museveni.

At a service with community church members, President Museveni spoke to young people about life.

"I hope you grow to reach this age," he said.

The President further praised Janet for "raising great children and building our family."
