Bishop of diocese of Lango Prof. Alfred Olwa has cautioned Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) against promoting homosexuality.

This was contained in his message through the Bishop emeritus of diocese of Lango John Charles Odur Kami during stakeholders meeting on Campaigns on Constitutional, Legal, and electoral reforms held at Margarita Palace Hotel, Lira city yesterday.

Bishop Prof. Alfred Olwa said government should not be blamed for tightening the noose on some NGO’s since some of them are engaged in suspicious activities under the guise of promoting human rights.

Bishop Olwa adds that some of these NGO’s are sponsoring homosexuality and politics of intrigue aimed to fight a democratically elected government

He challenged the NGO’s, political and other leaders to strengthen the fight against corruption which is impeding promotion of democracy, good governance and equitable development in Uganda.

The Bishop further castigated some wealthy people who sponsor election campaigns with the aim of getting contracts once their candidates are elected into office, which stifles effective service delivery efforts.

The governor of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in Lango, Bonny Otyama Ogongson said for democracy to be realized in Uganda, there is need for review of the constitution as well as advocay for electoral reforms.

Lira city East division mayor, George Okello Ayo blasted some religious and cultural leaders of engaging in partisan politics and dining with the ruling government at the expense of the populace.

He said some of these leaders are hoodwinked by the privileges like vehicles they receive from the government to support injustices committed by the government against members of the opposition.
