According to one of his wives, Ms Asembo, she has never experienced any jealousy towards the other wives.
“I love my husband and that is all that matters. Even if he brings in additional wives, I will not be bothered because I understand him. He is a responsible man and whatever he does is always right because he takes his time to decide on what to do,”said Ms Asembo.
Dorine Kalukhana, Mr Kalukhana’s seventh wife, admitted to feeling envious when she first got married but eventually grew accustomed to the situation.
“Today, there is no jealousy. We all live in harmony and no woman feels jealous of the other. Our man treats us equally,”she said.
