A section of Church leaders in Greater Luweero have urged the faithful to denounce acts that undermine the country’s stability and pray for a peaceful post-election period.
While a section of the aggrieved parties in the recently concluded General Election have sought redress in courts of law, Kasana-Luweero Diocese Bishop Paul Ssemogerere believes that denouncing acts of violence will boost development in Uganda.
“We have seen several leaders that lost the election congratulate their opponents and rally the population to support the new leaders, but many have run to court for redress. We recently saw the security led by the UPDF take a bold move to apologise for their operational mistakes when the soldiers beat up journalists,” he said.
