“On behalf of Centenary Bank, I thank Vision Group for the good work they are doing in fundraising for this noble cause. I call upon other Ugandans to show their support,” Mawejje added.

Kabushenga thanked the bank for the contribution. He said all the money collected will be handed over to the Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, for the reconstruction of the shrines .

He called upon schools, well-wishers and companies to send in their contributions.
