In the latest reshuffle made by President Yoweri Museveni, Kampala RCC Hudu Hussein who was last month accused of directing street evangelists in Kampala to vacate the streets in 30 days, has been moved to Yumbe as RDC.
According to the latest report, Amina Lukanga is the new RCC for Kampala.
In the latest reshuffle, President Museveni made changes in Senior Presidential Advisors, RDC Secretariat Commissioners, Resident District Commissioners, Resident City Commissioners, Deputy Resident District Commissioners and Deputy Resident City Commissioners.
Mr Hudu Hussein made a U-turn on evicting street evangelists through a statement on 25th February 2022, saying the activity should continue, and that there’s no need for the leaders of the street preachers to be alarmed by media reports he called a “false story.”
“A section of media has been carrying a false story about me and street preachers for almost now a week. I have been quite not because I said what they say I said but because I am recovering from the shock,” he said in the statement.
“Honestly, who am I to make war with God! I would rather deal with those other challenges that we face as Kampala than daring to limit the rights of those serving their God,” he continued. “I didn’t say what some media houses say I said. I think this is a make – dirty malicious scheme. I have the statement I made and it has nothing to do with street preachers.”
Social media has been awash with reports in which Mr Hudu Hussein was quoted as saying the move to evict street evangelists, among others, aims at restoring order in the city. Several Christian leaders and believers across the country reacted to the allegations, which Martin Sempa of Makerere Community church urging street preaching is a right that shouldn’t be trampled on.
