Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Zadock Adakun, the Lay leader of Kachinga Church of Uganda in Pallisa Archdeaconry has been suspended from conducting any church services over “gross involvement in adulterous acts, contrary to the church principles.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI am informing you that following subsequent meetings in regards to your misconduct, you have been suspended from duty until the Archdeaconry office in Pallisa resolves on your matter,\u2019\u2019 an August 22, 2021 letter signed by the St Peters Church of Uganda Agule parish priest, Rev John Paul Oyik read.<\/p>\n

The letter also directed Adakun to \u2018\u2018depart from the Church house by August 25 without fail\u2019\u2019 and he complied.<\/p>\n

Rev Oyik, confirmed the development, saying that the lay leader had been suspended from duty due to his immoral acts which dented the image of the church.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the overwhelming complaints from the community, we found it fitting to halt his services pending final decision by the archdeaconry office,\u201d Rev Oyik stated.<\/p>\n

The latest incidence is when Mzee Edula\u2019s family complained that Adakun has continued to engage with their daughter in-law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese people [family] properly brought evidence pinning the lay leader about his dubious acts which were against the cannons of the church. He does not give clear defense on the allegations except to deny them,\u201d Rev Oyik said.<\/p>\n

However, Adakun, 40, who is married with six children told Daily Monitor that the allegations are false and malicious.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are having a meeting on September 19. Let him produce evidence but short of that we shall end somewhere,\u201d he echoed.<\/p>\n

Adding that, \u201cThe bad relation stem from when he [Reverend] borrowed my car and used it to transport maize but only paid me Shs80, 000 for the whole day. I asked him to add some money which turned into a wrangle.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He said that the Christains of Kachinga Church of Uganda could be in a better position to give a full account of events.<\/p>\n

The area LC1 Chairperson, Mr Samuel Okirimat, also faulted the parish priest for what he termed as \u2018\u2018unbecoming behavior of not listening to the stakeholders in the church because he makes decisions single handedly without making consultations.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy chase the lay leader like a thief without having a meeting with the stakeholders?\u201d he wondered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
