He also appealed to Uganda police force to ensure that they abide by laws and not use them discriminately to promote the good and freedom of all Ugandans regardless of creed, association and origin to be able to have peaceful, free and fair general elections come 2021.

The man of God was speaking today during a press conference held at All Saints cathedral Kampala ahead of  the enthronement of the 8th bishop of Kampala diocese The Most Rev.  Dr. Samuel Stephen Kazimba Mugalu scheduled to take place this Sunday 8th March 2020.

” we welcome our archbishop and Bishop of the Diocese of Kampala The Most Rev Dr. Stephen Samuel Kazimba Mugalu as he takes the mantle in this season and period. We are sure with the passion for the gospel he has, greater success and impact will be registered in this city and beyond” Awodi said.
