SECURITY minister Amama Mbabazi has said he cannot be shaken by anybody because God protects him.
“Nothing is greater than God who is protecting my life,†Mbabazi said on Sunday while presiding over the 14th anniversary celebrations of Kinkizi Diocese at Nyakatare in Kanungu district.
Mbabazi’s remarks follow an incident on Thursday in which an intruder was shot dead while climbing the perimeter wall of his Kololo residence.
The Police have not yet established the identity and motive of the man.
In an interview with Sunday Vision, Mbabazi described the incident as an attack on his life.
“My father was among the leaders who brought Christianity to this region and the relation he had with God cannot allow my enemy to hurt me,†Mbabazi told the congregation.
He added that his father, a lay leader, was one of the founders of the Bible School at Rugarama in Kabale district that was transformed into Bishop Barham University.
The minister urged the congregation to become God’s stewards, saying it lightens life’s challenges.
He explained that his mother, who is about 105-years-old, accepted Christ as her personal saviour 71 years ago and was still strong.
“She can walk and read the bible as a university graduate,†Mbabazi said adding that she prayed and interceded for the family daily.
Some of the projects that have been carried out in the diocese include the construction of water sources, schools, a hospital at Bwindi and the adoption of affirmative action for the marginalised Batwa.
Mbabazi asked diocese leaders to invite him for more celebrations.
“In 2023, we shall return to celebrate more developments of this church. I will be alive and strong. I pledge to come again if you invite me,†he pledged.
Mbabazi commended the church for its contribution towards development of the country.
He was accompanied by the education minister, Geradine Namirembe Bitamazire.
After the service, Mbabazi’s wife, Jacqueline, told journalists that they would not be threatened by the wind.
“Our God is good and will protect us,†she said.
Bishop John Wilson Ntegyereize disclosed that they employ over 200 workers at the church, hospital and other projects within the diocese.
