Otherwise, if leaders embrace it, arms of government fighting graft will not be frequently arresting some public officers,&#8221; he observed.<\/p>\n<p>The RDC also denounced corruption, blaming it for poverty and failed service delivery before he went on to say that \u201ccreation of the altar is timely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during Tuesday\u2019s event at Amagoro Court Hall, district speaker Betty Andera Chirya said leaders in the district will use the altar to offer sacrifices and prayers to God for blessings and supernatural strength.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the platform, the district will be holding quarterly prayers and later be crowned by a prayer breakfast as an annual event,\u201d she told.<\/p>\n<p>The clergy at the launch were led by born again faith bishop (pastor) Tera Olukol of Magodes Pentecostal Outreach Ministries International Tororo.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201ccherishing God will make officers entrusted with the tasks of holding public offices to execute their duties in a Godlier way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Altar of God Ministries International Tororo pastor Fred Epiat appealed to the leaders to subsequently introduce fellowship hours other than making the prayer a quarterly and annual event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the district leaders can volunteer to conduct the services if the district does not have anointed men and women of God,\u201d he remarked on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tororo District LC5 chairperson John Okeya commended religious leaders for \u201cinterceding for the district.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I need to thank you our religious leaders for the prayers you have dedicated upon the district which I strongly say have helped to bring in sanity,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Atama, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) encouraged men and women of God to continue praying for the district and preach wealth creation to their congregations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
