President Museveni Praises Faith-Based Groups for Driving Uganda’s Development | Kasese Diocese Cathedral Fundraiser Success
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has lauded faith-based organizations for their essential role in promoting national growth while providing spiritual guidance. The President’s message was delivered by Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa at a major fundraising event for the Kasese Cathedral, held at Kasese Diocese. The event drew thousands of Christians united in faith, generosity, and community spirit.
During his remarks, President Museveni praised the Catholic Diocese of Kasese, especially Bishop Francis Aquirinus Kibira, for their resilience in ongoing projects like the cathedral and their significant contributions to health services through Mt. St. Mary’s Hospital. The hospital has been a critical resource in the region, especially following the destruction of Kilembe Mines Hospital during floods.
Rt. Hon. Tayebwa emphasized the crucial balance between spiritual and earthly responsibilities, urging believers to support both their faith and community development. Bishop Kibira urged Christians to embody compassion, inspired by the Good Samaritan.
The fundraising drive aims to raise UGX 5 billion to complete the Kasese Cathedral, with thousands donating cash, items, and pledges in a show of unity and faith. Senior Presidential Advisor Christine Muhindo and Minister Hon. Godfrey Baluku Kabyanga also acknowledged the significance of faith-based organizations in Uganda’s development story.
