Kasese clergy told to preach prosperity, development gospel
Kabbyanga said it is unfair and unproductive to keep people in one place for nine days without equipping them with a message on how they can work hard, engage in livelihood programmes and embrace government programmes.

Kasese district religious leaders have been urged to preach prosperity and sustainable development rather than piling on the faithful only Bible or Koran verses and stories.
ICT and National Guidance state minister Godfrey Kabbyanga made the call on August 10, 2024, at the closure of the nine-day Seventh Day Adventist camp attended by over 2,000 people. The event was held at Kanyampara SDA Church in Bukonzo East Constituency of Kasese district.
Kabbyanga said it is unfair and unproductive to keep people in one place for nine days without equipping them with a message on how they can work hard, engage in livelihood programmes and embrace government programmes to eliminate poverty from their homes.
"This is because a happy and daily earning Christian will ably support Church developments," Kabbyanga said.
Because the English Premier League season is soon starting, Kabbyanga also urged the youth to stop wasting time arguing about the football teams but rather discuss development ideas and probably come up with plans to implement them.
"You spend all the time talking about Onana of Manchester United and Saka of Arsenal little knowing that per week they earn over shillings 200 million," Kabbyanga said.

"As government, we have done our role to support you through PDM and Emyooga. Yours is to utilise the funds efficiently and earn something every day," he added.
Pastor Doctor Moses Maka Ndimukika, the Archbishop of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, said their long-term commitment is to encourage their people to work hard, educate their children and make sure that their lives are very healthy.
Trade state minister Gen. Wilson Mbasu Mbadi who was the chief guest, urged the people to promote peace, unity, harmony and support each other to attain sustainable development and encouraged them to support the Government wholeheartedly to benefit much from it.
"Without peace, nothing can be done," Mbadi said.
