On September 26, NBS TV moneybags and CEO, Kin Kariisa and his stunning wife, Julie celebrated 17 years of legal and holy bonking.
A tweet by their daughter, @kariisa_jamilla raised this celebratory tidbit when she wrote,
“HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE BEST COUPLE I KNOW!! Happy Anniversary @KKariisa and @jjkariisa love you guys so much and I’m so proud of how far you have come. Thank you for being the best example to my brothers and I, I love you more than life itself. #17years#marriage.”
To this, Kariisa, who is the National Association of Broadcasters’ Chairman, responded, “Thank you my Jami Jami… We love you always.”
Many people replied to the tweet, congratulating the couple on the milestone.
KFM’s Joseph Beyanga also wished his comrade a happy anniversary in a tweet that read, “Happy 17th anniversary @KKariisa and the love of your life. Wishing you many more”.
A user who goes by the name Sam, complimented Julie Kariisa for looking rather young.
“Happy anniversary. Congs on 17 years. She looks 3,” he wrote.
In 2004, Kin and Julie (nee Juliet Janat Tumusiime) tied the knot and together, the couple has three children.

What you may need to know about Kin…
Born on August 24, 1976 in Ruhaama Ntungamo, Kin Kariisa is a Ugandan businessman, media proprietor and philanthropist. He is the Chief Executive Officer of Next Media Services, the holding company for NBS TV, Nile Post, Sanyuka TV, Next radio and a host of other companies.
Kariisa holds a Bachelor’s in Statistics from Makerere University, Masters in Computer Engineering from Huazong University, China and an Honorary PhD in exemplary community service from the United Graduate College, Texas USA.
In 1995, while in his senior four vacation, he narrates that with the help of one of his brothers, they set up a hair salon in Mbarara town. Kariisa would later become one of the best barbers in Mbarara town by offering superior services from his rivals partly because he had procured the first electric hair clipper in town.
As word spread about Kariisa’s hair cutting prowess, his business took an upward swing and by the end of his vacation, he had accumulated some good pocket money. Twenty six years later, Kariisa, who always spots a neatly styled haircut, has applied some of the principles from his salon business – hard work, perfection and quality – to grow a string of businesses.
