KAMPALA.
Rev. Canon Musiiwuufu Magala has urged leaders to stand by their promises and ensure a peaceful transfer of power.
Speaking during the funeral service for the late Edith Katende Mufumbiro St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe ,canon Magala said it is only God with absolute power emphazing that humans have to be humble .
Edith Katende Mufumbiro, wife of National Unity Platform (NUP) deputy spokesperson Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro, passed away earlier this week after a battle with cancer.
In his sermon, Rev. Canon Magala criticized self-serving leadership, saying, “There are those who behave as if they will take everything in this world, yet their actions do not unite the country or help others.”
He called on security agencies and national leaders to reflect on their conduct, particularly regarding the treatment of opposition figures. “What is happening in this country requires serious self-examination,” he said, referencing reported injustices and violence against government critics.
Rev. Canon Magala stressed the importance of human rights and accountability, adding, “Suppressing people’s freedoms and delaying a rightful transition of power is unacceptable.”
He also challenged members of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), urging them to engage meaningfully with citizens. “Instead of engaging in unnecessary activities, leaders should stand with the people and question why some Ugandans remain in prison,” he said
