KAMPALA Diocese archbishop Cyprian Lwanga has lauded Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala for his outstanding service to the Catholic Church.

“Under Cardinal Wamala’s leadership, things have changed in the Church to a great level. He is a wonderful leader, teacher and preacher. I am so grateful he ordained me,” Lwanga said.

He was speaking at a party organised by Wamala at his home in Nsambya, to say farewell to the laity. He retired in September.

Wamala stood at the gate to welcome his guests, who kissed his ring as they walked in.

Guests included Msgr. Charles Kimbowa, Deputy Chief Justice Laeticia Kikonyogo and state minister Gabriel Opio (higher education) and Maurice Kagimu (economic monitoring), who represented the Vice- President.

Wamala said, “I’m so grateful for your support, love and guidance. We have been together for the last 18 years. This is not for the Catholics only, but also other religions.”
