Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news August 7, 2021

The Next Media services has contributed Ugshs100M towards paying the debt Church Of Uganda has. Church Of Uganda is at a risk of losing the Church House building due to a huge debt they took as it was being built.

The debt being paid amounts to shs48 billion. the Archbishop, Dr. Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, recently asked Christians to contribute at least Shs 60,000 to help them pay up this debt.

The Chief Executive Officer of Next Media, Kin Kariisa in a statement said they are always happy helping out C.O.U.

“For this particular campaign, with consideration of the magnitude of the cause at hand as stated above, we are offering up to Shs100,000,000 (one Hundred Million Uganda Shillings) worth of advertising across all the Next Media Services platforms to the Church of Uganda as per our rate card catering for promotions, TV adverts, mentions, Squeeze Backs, and Digital support.”

On top of this, Next media will apparently be helping Church Of Uganda in terms of media planning for both TV and digital. Kariisa says they are willing to work with the church for the betterment of the Uganda.

“We cannot overstate our commitment to working with the Church of Uganda to further the development and overall betterment of our motherland, Uganda.”

The church got the loan from Equity Bank. Apparently, the loan played a great role to see that the church house building come to completion. Some people however say church authorities misused the money. Otherwise, the debt wouldn’t have been that huge. Meanwhile all this negativity has not stopped Archbishop Steven Mugalu from moving forward with the campaign.
