Speaking at the 19th anniversary celebrations of Kasana-Luweero Cathedral in Luweero town, Bishop Joseph Ssemwogerere on Sunday called for tolerance among political leaders, condemned election malpractices that characterized the recently concluded general elections.
He said that the government move to subject former FDC presidential candidate Kizza Besigye to house arrest is comparable to a fighter who bites an opponent whom he has already wrestled down.
“I hear some people who were defeated in the elections are being tortured. Why bite an opponent whom you have already wrestled down. It is unfair,” Bishop Ssemwogerere stated
“I know there are many politicians who won by rigging. Some of them could be among us here,” he further said while addressing the congregation
The function was graced by several politicians that included the education state minister and Bamunanika MP, John Muyingo who was the chief guest, Luweero LC5 chairman elect Ronald Ndawula and the Luweero district woman MP elect, Lillian Nakate.
Minister John Muyingo who is funding a bursary scheme for over 2,000 poor students in his Bamunanika constituency, noted that many children of school going age countrywide are roaming in villages for lack of school fees yet there are many Ugandans who are swimming in luxury.
