Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The recently passed Anti-Homosexuality Bill and the iron sheets scandal dominated Easter sermons across the country, with the clergy chastising implicated ministers to return the building materials meant for Karamoja Sub-region.<\/p>\n

The clergy also appealed to President Museveni to assent to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

During his Easter sermons to hundreds of congregants at Rubaga Cathedral yesterday, Kampala Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere said he was dismayed by the diversion of iron sheets and more so by Christians in government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are embarrassed. On this day of Easter, everyone should tell the other that we are embarrassed. It is good that some people have apologised that what they did was sinful,\u201d Archbishop Ssemogerere said.<\/p>\n

Last week, Karamoja Affairs Minister Mary Goretti Kitutu and her brother were sent to Luzira on remand for allegedly selling the branded roofing materials.<\/p>\n

Bishop Ssemogerere said corruption had become a cancer in the country that needs a concerted effort.<\/p>\n

At Namirembe Cathedral, Bishop Wilberforce Kityo Luwalira, who was the main celebrant, urged the public to turn away from \u201cthe sin of corruption, nepotism and torture\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us put an end to torture, corruption, nepotism and immorality that is being promoted by people in the west under the disguise of human rights. We must rise and stand for what the Bible teaches,\u201d Bishop Luwalira said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrethren, each year we seek and reflect on the message of resurrection. But how meaningful is Easter? Remember what was written in the gospel. Jesus\u2019 suffering opened the gates of everlasting life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In Kiyinda\u2013Mityana Diocese, Dr Joseph Antony ZZiwa, the bishop, urged Christians to \u201cdrop\u201d bad practices as they celebrate Easter.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake the example of murder, robbery, homosexuality and other vices, these should be dropped and we move forward as God\u2019s people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bishop Gaddie Akanjuna of Kigezi Diocese said the government officials, who are accused of diverting iron sheets meant for Karamoja, must return them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are selfish and they (officials) should return the iron sheets to the intended beneficiaries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bishop Reuben Kisembo of Ruwenzori Diocese, condemned all forms of corruption, which he said are rampant in the country.<\/p>\n

He said the arrest of the Minister for Karamoja should be a lesson to other corrupt government officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law should not be applied selectively, all people involved in the iron sheets scandal should be charged as per the laws,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The South Ankole Bishop, Rt Rev Nathan Ahimbisibwe, called on political and civil leaders to intensify the fight against corruption and betrayal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs leaders, you should serve God and his people instead of betraying them through evil acts like corruption like Judas Iscariot because you will be held accountable before God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Katikkiro of Buganda Kingdom, Charles Peter Mayiga, while at Lubaga Church said the iron sheets scandal exposes how important the federal system is to the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t reach middle-income status when the government agencies are full of corruption. That is why in Buganda, we want the federal system of governance,\u201d Mr Mayiga said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Karamoja was in a federal system, iron sheets wouldn\u2019t have developed legs to other people\u2019s houses,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Anti-Homosexuality Bill<\/p>\n

At All Saints Cathedral in Kampala, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, the Most Rev Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, commended the Ugandan legislators for exhibiting unity during the passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the first time I saw all MPs united despite their political affiliations, which is very good. My prayer is for the President to assent to it to become law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Kaziimba called on parents, especially men to take care of their children and nurture them into responsible citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmpower both boys and girls. We have well-trained women but going with men who are not trained enough which sometimes leads to domestic violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At the Holy Spirit Church in North Division, Mbarara City, Pastor Willy Tumwine, challenged Christians to guard against foreign cultures that could compromise their relationship with God.<\/p>\n

The Archbishop of Mbarara, Lambert Bainomugisha, urged Christians to stop divisions based on religious sentiments and tribes.<\/p>\n

He said the Catholic and Anglican churches in Mbarara had a joint Way of the Cross procession through Mbarara City Centre which should not only be seen on Good Friday but rather maintained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are encouraged to spread the gospel of the Lord. On Good Friday, I was so happy, wondering how men of God and Christians came together to walk a long journey for the Way of the Cross, emulating what Jesus Christ did while carrying the Cross,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bishop Robert Muhiirwa of Fort Portal Catholic Diocese appealed to parents, especially men who have abandoned their families to repent.<\/p>\n

In Mbale, the Bishop of Mbale Diocese, Rt Rev John Wilson Nandaah asked Christians to desist from homosexuality and corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this Easter time, we should ask ourselves who will roll the stone of sickness, malice, corruption, poverty and homosexuality that are threatening our faith, culture, unity and economic progress,\u201d he said while preaching at St Andrew\u2019s Church in Mbale City on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n

At Our Lady of Sorrows Cathedral, Kitovu, Masaka Diocesan Bishop Serverus Jjumba asked Christians to ensure proper use of the environment by conserving wetlands and all water sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we continue to destroy the environment, just know that our survival as human beings will also be threatened,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

He asked the leadership of Masaka City to continue lighting the city streets to boost the night economy.<\/p>\n

Rev Saul Massembe, the deacon of Mbaale Parish in Mpigi District, urged Christians to use this time to pray for Uganda and get rid of homosexual practices<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us all fight homosexuality since we all know our cultures and traditions, let us exchange our values with money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At Namugongo Martyrs Shrine, at least five sessions of Holy Mass were conducted, with Christians filling the facility to capacity.<\/p>\n

Fr Stephen Nkwangu, the parish priest of Uganda Martyrs Shrine asked the congregation to desist from committing sins such as practising witchcraft, being jealous and abusing one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus died for our sins. We should base on this to ensure that we follow the teachings of the Bible and live a sin-free life. We should not be jealous of the achievements of our friends,\u201d Fr Nkwangu said.<\/p>\n

At Christ\u2019s Cathedral Bugembe in Jinja City, Bishop Paul Moses Samson Naimanhye of Busoga Diocese, warned Christians against committing suicide.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we celebrate this Easter, let us not forget to face the challenges in our homes, and workplaces through prayers. Committing suicide is a sin and when you die, people will take your property including your wife or husband, prayers and faith should be your weapons to success,\u201d the prelate advised.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the retired Bishop of Soroti Church of Uganda Diocese, Bamrad Obaikol, called on Christians to advocate for behavioural change among boys to understand the value of family. He said the number of boys graduating from institutions has dropped compared to girls.<\/p>\n

In Gulu, Fr David Okello Opiru from Holy Rosary Church warned Christians against deceitfulness, hatred and witchcraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deceive others, we betray others, we offend our neighbours, we continue to bear hatred for one another including practising superstition but the resurrection of Jesus should be a turning point in our lives to start a new life where we embrace the beauty of humanity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At Tororo, the Archbishop of Tororo Archdiocese, Dr Emmanuel Obbo, asked Christians to develop a heart of forgiveness and love for others.<\/p>\n

He said it is embarrassing to hear that a brother does not talk to a biological brother because of disagreement that they could have had one yet the bible puts emphasis on forgiving those who wrong you.<\/p>\n

Monsignor Joseph Mugambi, the parish priest of Christ the King Church in Kampala, asked Christians to emulate what Jesus did and serve God.<\/p>\n

\u201cServe God with all your heart so that you may have eternal life. Maintain our hope by keeping the commandments,\u201d said.<\/p>\n

At Watoto Church, the team leader Pastor Julius Rwotlonyo, said the cross gives Christians access to God, power in the blood of Jesus and resurrection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great divine disruption was at the cross where there was a great purchase. At the cross, we have hope and that is the message of Easter. Death gave way to life through the cross. We had no hope before the cross, but now, we have hope,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
