As Christians celebrate Easter season, it is business unusual, especially, in the Catholic Church following the abrupt death of Dr Cyprian Lwanga Kizito, the Archbishop of Kampala. Our team captured the mood in different places of worship yesterday.
Yesterday, Msgr Charles Kasibante, the Vicar General of Kampala Archdiocese, read the last speech of the Archbishop of Kampala, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, during the 10am Mass at Rubaga Cathedral. Dr Lwanga was expected as the main celebrant and was going to read the speech. Sadly, he was found dead in his house a day before. Here is the speech.
“ Dear people of God, Christ is risen. He is risen indeed, alleluia! This is our traditional Easter greeting in which we express our joy and faith in the risen Lord.
The fifth article of our creed says; he descended into hell and on the third day, he rose from the dead. Christ who suffered died and was buried is now risen. Death no longer has the last word. Evil is defeated. The tables are turned and Christ our light is the true victor in the fight against forces of darkness.

The acrimonious exchanges of insults between the ruling NRM, which won the January 2021 presidential election, and the losing opposition National Unity Platform has further diminished the already remote prospects of talks to resolve the impasse over elections.
According to NUP insiders, there are efforts initiated by foreign groups to have both President Museveni and his fiercest challenger in the January poll Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu to sit down for talks.
“They are establishing contact with the president to see how the country moves forward after a bitter election. Even at NUP, there have been a number of meetings to try and convince Kyagulanyi to talk to Museveni,” an insider said.
