Archbishop Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, has condemned the rampant murders of people in Uganda.
While leading the final mass for the late Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Andrew Felix Kaweesi at Lubaga Cathedral, Archbishop Lwanga said that many people have been murdered mainly by iron bar hitmen and gunmen. He called upon all of the evil doers to
repent.
“People forgot the Ten Commandments. People do not remember that life is God-given. You shall not kill. Anyone who kills will answer for it before God. I call up those doing it (killing) to stop and come for reconciliation. Murder is a daily routine……” he told the
congregation that included several high profile people.
“Let us remember our national motto; For God and My Country. Can you kill a person and say you killed for God? Let us remember our motto and that everything we do is for God and our country.
Let us make peace starting from our families to the top,” the Archbishop implored.
He described AIGP Kaweesi as having been a good son of the country.
“The entire country was shocked and saddened by the murder of our dear friend Kaweesi. On behalf of the archdiocese, our sympathy goes to the entire nation.
“He was always full of humility. Caring for others has been Kaweesi.
Let us be humble and also do the needful. Our presence in such big
numbers reflects that Kaweesi has touched many lives in this country.”
The Archbishop noted that Kaweesi was a very faithful person that always put God at the centre.
“AIGP Felix took the first reading when the Pope came to Uganda. This surprised members of the Pope’s entourage,” he said of the officer whose life was cut short by assassins’ bullet at the rather youthful age of 43.
