Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi has decried the high rate of corruption in public offices. “They are cheating the Government. They are given drugs to take to public health centres but they instead deliver them to their private clinics.
“A lot of money is spent on constructing roads but after two days, they develop potholes,†Orombi said.
He made the remarks during a service at Rubaare archdeaconry in Ntungamo district on Monday.
Orombi attributed corruption to moral degeneration, adding that corrupt government officials were pretending to be born-again Christians.
“They go for Holy Communion but the problem is that people no longer fear God,†Orombi noted.
He was also concerned about the increasing cases of cross-generation sex, defilement and adultery.
“You are a teacher and you sleep with your student, where is your holiness?†Orombi asked.
In a special prayer he dedicated to the children, the archbishop noted that the young generation could influence change in the country.
He urged parents to protect the youth from danger. “When we send our children to universities, they become victims. In Kampala, children are being kidnapped, sacrificed, aborted and sold out,†he said.
The West Ankole Diocese Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Yonah Katoneene, appealed to Christians to seek God’s guidance in everything they do.
