Pastor Ssempa Claims Religious Discrimination At Makerere University

Ugandan pastor, Martin Ssempa, has accused Makerere University of religious discrimination, asserting that the closure of Makerere Community Church, under his leadership for over twenty years, is unjust.

Expressing disappointment on social media, Pastor Ssempa highlighted the impact of the church’s closure on students, emphasizing the loss of spiritual guidance and counseling services.

Ssempa criticized the university’s characterization of his church as “irregular,” arguing that this decision restricts students’ access to vital spiritual and social resources, in violation of their constitutional right to freedom of worship.

Legal action planned

With plans to pursue legal action against Makerere University, Pastor Ssempa emphasized the necessity of resorting to the courts to secure students’ well-being amid the alleged religious discrimination.

Encouraging public support against what he perceives as “religious oppression,” Pastor Ssempa urged followers to advocate for an end to discrimination by reaching out to university officials.

The situation at Makerere University prompts reflection on issues of religious freedom and the place of faith-based entities within Uganda’s public higher education institutions.
