President Museveni has hailed Kigezi Diocese for its holistic approach in preaching and spreading the gospel, covering summons of socioeconomic transformation.

The message was carried in his remarks delivered by trade state minister David Bahati during the launch of the Bishop’s Development Fund at St Peter's Cathedral Rugarama grounds in Kabale Town.

At least Shs1.245 billion was raised in cash and pledges, out of the required Shs3.1 billion for construction a diocesan business center in Kabale Town.

President Museveni contributed Shs150 million towards the project.

“I am delighted that religious leaders are beginning to understand the message on wealth creation and economic transformation in their summons. While it’s true that the primary role of the church is the spiritual well-being of the people, the church must also support initiatives geared towards social economic transformation in order to address the challenges of ignorance and poverty among others,” Museveni said in his speech delivered by Bahati.
