The residents of Tororo district have been advised by President Museveni to desist from engaging in intertribal conflicts. The president delivered his remarks to round off a five-day Light Up Eastern Region Convocation at Elgon View Field in Tororo District.
Pastor Patience Rwabwogo, the lead preacher at Covenant Nations Church, organized the occasion as the First Daughter.
“When you talk about the frictions among the tribes. The Bateso here in Tororo County and the Badama, why should this be a problem? Why would a Mudama have a problem with a Muteso speaking his language? All those tribes were created by God. Why should I say that I am a Christian and I want a Muteso not to speak his dialect? That he should speak Rudama because they are the majority in this area. And why do you, a Muteso, want a Mudama not to speak his dialect?” he wondered.
According to President Museveni, conflicts between tribes and religions are what brought the destruction of nations like Sudan. Conversely, the president advised the Christians to deepen their spiritual understanding and establish their relationship with God.
“We are created in God’s Image and when you hate each other, you are hating the handwork of God.”
He went on to say that since humans are God’s temple, living carelessly is a way of undermining God.
President Museveni also invited the audience to actively engage in the elucidation of several important NRM Principles. These include discipline, peace, unity, and the fight to end poverty.
