Why Museveni banned preaching in barracks
The President was today speaking during Easter Mass at St. Mathew Cathedral Kyamate in Ntungamo district where he was accompanied by the First Lady who is also Minister for Karamoja Affairs Janet Kataha Museveni.
“I have heard you overtime and your messages are very clear and positive because they preach unity and don’t divide the population. We were forced to send away all religious leaders from all military barracks because their messages to the army were largely divisive and could not be tolerated in the army and am happy the messages from the church today emphasize religious unity,” he said.
He expressed gratitude at the plan by the South Ankole diocese to undertake development projects that will generate income for the diocese for the good work, continuity and enhancement of God’s work and pledged the government support in that endeavor.
The President used the occasion to appeal to the population to work and boost their household income noting that household poverty was the major challenge facing the country today.
“Every house hold should become a commercial union,” he said and warned against land fragmentation due to negative inheritance practices which he said affects land productivity.
