Bishop Kibuuka decried the rampant corruption in Uganda that cuts across from government entities to private entities including the religious institution despite a number of anti-corruption campaigns.
“Corruption is so rampant today to the extent that it reminds us Judas Iscariot’ generation when he sold Jesus Christ to the tormentors at only 30 silver coins. Many people today are so selfish to the extent that they don’t mind about other people’s lives and what benefits all of us but rather mind about building their mansions, driving posh cars, living a luxurious life and keeping themselves in power at the expense of others and using corruption.
Therefore, we have so many Judas Iscariots in the country and our prayer is God to save us from them because they are every including our families, work places, religious institution, all arms of government, private institutions among others.” Said Bishop Kibuuka
Bishop Kibuuka further emphasized that the country to development Ugandans must be honest, just, and truthful and wholeheartedly fight corruption because if it persists the country will have no peace and development.
In the same way, Bishop Kibuuka said that the way of the cross means and calls for reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and doing things in ahonest, truth and just ways adding that whoever refuses to do so brings about division and instability and therefore, he/she is the Judas Iscariot, peter and the romans that crucified Jesus Christ.
Furthermore Bishop Kibuuka wished everyone happy Easter holidays with a call to fight corruption, poverty and to be peaceful to enable the country to develop.
