BUNDIBUGYO/KASESE-
The King of the Bwamba, Lt Col Martin Ayogi Kamya, has rebuked what he
called people who circulate propaganda of hatred among communities in
Bundibugyo District.
Mr Kamya was speaking during the launch of the Bible in Lubwisi at Christ School playground in Nyahuka Town Council, Bundibugyo District.
Meanwhile, in Kasese District, the Rwenzururu King, Omusinga Charles Mumbere, has urged residents not to blame government for the recent Rwenzori conflicts but instead blame their children.
“We should fault our own children who have accepted to be used by government to betray their fellow tribesmen,” Mumbere said at Peas Secondary School in Buhuhira Sub-county during his visit to the area.
He said Busongora North has faced several challenges because it is the stronghold of the kingdom where majority of the royal guards have been mistaken for ‘Kirumiramuthima’, a militia group that was allegedly involved in the killings that left more than 15 people dead, including police and soldiers in Kasese District.
Bamba-Babwisi community had no Bible in Lwamba-Lubwisi and have been using the Bible in Rutooro.
The Lubwisi Bible was facilitated by members of the Uganda Bible Society and World Harvest Mission (WHM).
Mr Kamya appealed to Bundibugyo residents to embrace peaceful co-existence and use the Bible as a weapon to fight poverty and tribal misunderstandings in the district.
He condemned the recent post-election violence in Bundibugyo and the entire Rwenzori sub-region that claimed scores of lives.
“I appeal to residents to embrace the Gospel, which preaches equality irrespective of religion, tribe, culture and political differences,” Mr Kamya said.
The Rev Elastimas Kisembo from Rwenzori Diocese said the Bible will help disseminate the word of God to his people.
