Church of Uganda Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba has decried the rampant defilement and incest committed by relatives and parents and called the perpetrators to repent.
Dr Kaziimba said there are fathers, uncles and cousins who have defiled their daughters and sisters, and impregnated them in violation of societal norms.
“To the families of those perpetrators, we know you are trying to protect yourselves from shame. Just know that the source of shame is always sin, not the one who exposes the sin. Shame does not go away by hiding it. The only way shame can go is by confessing it and allowing God’s forgiveness to go deep into your family,” Archbishop Kaziimba said yesterday while delivering Easter messages at a press conference in Kampala. He described the alarming cases of abuse of girls as ‘the most discouraging piece of news and asked the victims to always reflect on the risen Jesus as their source of love and livelihood.
