However, according to Ssempa, this is not something derived from the Bible. It’s rather a doctrine from the Roman Catholic church and it must be removed by all means.
Furthermore, Ssempa said that as Africans, there is a need for decolonization. He gave an example of things like planets which he said that although they exist, they are named after white gods. Days of the week should also be renamed and he’s on the journey to do just that.
“The idea that priests should not marry is not a biblical concept. It is a Roman Catholic Church concept and we must remove it. Priests must marry. We need to decolonize everything. These planets do exist, however they are named after the gods of White people. Those names are not in the Bible. I think we need to decolonize the days of the week. I am on that journey.”
Preaching in suits;
Furthermore, the pastor doesn’t want Africans preaching the word of God dressed in European clothes.
They should be wearing leopard skin, sacks, and barkcloth and holding traditional sticks. Besides he’s also partnering with other brains to decolonise Christianity.
He also gave an example of Christmas which is about the birth of Jesus Christ, Mary and Joseph. But for the Whites, it’s about Santa Claus and Father Christmas which is all wrong.
Meanwhile, Ssempa also said that he’s in court against Makerere University. This is because they stopped his church, Makerere Community church which was operating inside the university. They claim that it’s working illegally which the pastor opposes.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
