“Please join me to welcome Hon Brig-Gen Flavia Byekwaso appointed the Defence Spokesperson following the end of my tour of duty. I have been assigned to EAC Secretariat as Defence Liaison Officer. I look forward to working on Integration as the solution for our strategic security,” Brig Richard Karemire tweeted on Saturday.

In an interview that aired on NTV, Brig. Byekwaso was not short of joy but also called on her colleagues to support her as she takes on the new role.

“This is a very great role, and I am very excited to take it on. I am the first woman to take on this office, and it is an exciting part of history,” remarked Brig Flavia Byekwaso.

Every journey has ups and downs, friends along the way. It has been 24 years and the opportunities keep presenting themselves. It is exciting for all women in the forces and the calls of congratulations I am getting are overwhelming me. I know I am inspiring many women in the forces. Now, I can say I need everyone’s support because a lot is expected of me and I have to do the job.
