Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Bishop Reuben Kisembo of Ruwenzori Diocese has asked all Tooro subjects to forgive the former kingdom prime minister, Sanyu John Katuramu, who was released on Saturday after serving a 20-year jail sentence.<\/p>\n

Katuramu had been convicted for murdering Tooro Prince Happy Kijanangoma.<\/p>\n

Bishop Kisembo said he was among the people who participated in the reconciliation meeting between the two families.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank President Museveni for the release of Sanyu John Katuramu, let us forgive him and welcome him. If the family has forgiven him, who are we? We are all sinners,\u201d the bishop said during thanksgiving prayers for King Oyo\u2019s 26 coronation anniversary at Karuziika palace in Fort Portal City yesterday.<\/p>\n

Bishop Kisembo also appealed to the government to consider reopening schools in a phased manner to allow children return to school.<\/p>\n

\u201c I want to appeal to the government to procure more Covid-19 vaccines for all people to be vaccinated, the government should reopen schools in a phased manner. If not, we shall get more effects of Covid-19 than [the virus] itself. I also want to appeal to the government to consider reopening places of worship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The kingdom prime minister, Mr Bernard Tungwako, welcomed Mr Katuramu as a son of Tooro.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is any problem, we shall sit as kingdom and solve it,\u201d Mr Tungwako said.<\/p>\n

The Fort Portal City Central MP, Mr Alex Ruhunda, urged the subjects to forgive Katuramu and welcome him to enable him to continue with his business.<\/p>\n

Mr Bruce Katuramu, the former kingdom premier\u2019s son, said they reconciled with the family members of the late Kijanangoma.<\/p>\n

Prince David Kijanangoma, the brother of the late Happy, said Mr Katuramu\u2019s release was based on humanitarian and legal grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of what happened in the past, we reconciled with him, Katuramu married our cousin Gertrude and that is what most people don\u2019t know, his children are part of our family and at the end of the day, we are still one family,\u201d Prince Kijanangoma said.<\/p>\n

He added that the reconciliation started more than 10 years ago when he was still in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the reconciliation with a party of family, brothers and sisters before coming from America, when I came, I was introduced to him and I saw how genuine he was, he was a reformed person and was someone who was influenced and misled by some other key players,\u201d Prince Kijanangoma said.<\/p>\n

He said on legal grounds, Mr Katuramu had served his sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaturamu is not condemned any more, if God can forgive him, who are we to condemn him? All I am praying for is that he also gets healing outside the prison so that he can become a responsible and productive citizen of the country and people of Tooro,\u201d the prince said.<\/p>\n

The kingdom prime minister, Mr Benard Tungwako, welcomed the news of Katuramu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Katuramu is the proprietor of Voice of Toro in Fort Portal city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
