Archbishop Stanley Ntagali has called for dialogue between the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party and the other opposition parties.
These remarks were made at a press conference to conclude the UJCC annual meeting on Thursday, at Jevine Hotel. He was joined by UJCC executive secretary Rev Fr Dr Silvester Arinaitwe Rwomukubwe, Fr Stephen Lunagula, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga and the representative of Kampala Metropolitan Jonah Lwanga.
The meeting, running under a theme from Mathew 23.11, ‘‘striving for greatness through servanthood ” additionally called for sensitization of the public on the proposed Islamic banking, and condemned sex education in schools.
The Clergy’s plea against sex education in schools follows an investigation report by Saturday Monitor that exposed about 100 schools which were tricked by SchoolNet into training teachers and their students homosexuality and how to become intimate with their partners, among other things.
After the report findings, Mr Daniel Kakinda, SchoolNet director regretted the content in their old curriculum and added that they have since revised it to suit the Ugandan setting having realized it had gaps. However, the old one still circulates in schools since it was not withdrawn.
He said that the assembly expresses concern about the minimal nature of constitutional and electoral reforms that were undertaken in the run-up to the general election held in 2016, urging that elections inaugurate democratic governance, which is essential for peace and sustainable development.
