We had courts, prisons and police all on the same (Kingdom) land,\u201d said Mr Kyangwa.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, added that if the Church needs more land for the construction of an official residence for the Bishop, they can discuss with the Kyabazinga following the known procedure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Uganda Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
