Cardinal Wamala later turned to the newly elected politicians, both in NRM and the opposition parties, to work together for the peace and prosperity of the country.
He also asked the politicians not to discriminate against the people on the basis of their tribal, political or religious affiliation, but to exercise fairness and justice in all their actions, for the common good of all Ugandans.
The Superiour of the Capuchin Missionaries in Uganda, Fr. Godwin Ogam appointed Sekulima to Mirembe Seminary in Mityana, where he will also be the Vicar of the Capuchin Community.
