President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called upon religious leaders of Elgon Region to use their noble role of evangelizing to teach people about household generation incomes that could even support church programmes and projects effectively.
The President made the remarks at State Lodge Mbale while meeting religious leaders from Elgon region who were led by the Mufti of Uganda Sheikh Shaban Ramathan Mubajje as well as some members of the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda, Leaders of the Moslem community in Bugisu and some businessmen.
President Museveni commended the Inter-religious council of Uganda for complementing government’s efforts of fighting Covid-19 by sensitizing the public during their services. He added, however, that some politicians are acting carelessly and want to bring problems by gathering people.
He appealed to Ugandans not to relent in the fight against Covid-19 until a vaccine or cure is discovered.
President Museveni thanked the Church for complementing government’s efforts of waking up Ugandans to start engaging in money-making enterprises through forming SACCOs and pledged to support those SACCOs and also said it was wise to add religious leaders to Emyooga, which is another government initiative aimed at fighting poverty.
The meeting was attended by among others, the newly appointed Ugandan High Commissioner to Kenya, Ambassador Hassan Galiwango, Businessmen Hassan Basajjabalaba and Hamis Kiggundu alias Ham.
