BISHOP Matthias Ssekamanya of Lugazi Diocese has urged presidential candidates and their supporters to advocate for peace during and after next year’s elections.
Ssekamanya was on Tuesday leading a memorial mass for the Polish nationals who died at Kojja village in Mpunge sub-county in Mukono district during the Second World War.
A total of 11 people from Poland and relatives to the deceased were joined by the residents of Kojja in the prayers.
“Those people suffered because of the poor governance in their country at the time. We are likely to end up the same way if we don’t vote wisely. Avoid voting incapable leaders because of the influence of money,†Ssekamanya urged.
He asked Ugandans to honour their roots as the Polish had done.
Ssekamanya attacked the youth who sold their ancestral land, including graveyards so as to live lavish lifestyles.
The Rev. Fr. John Marciniak, who led the group from Poland, said Poland is ready to build a strong relationship with Uganda.
“We are here to share knowledge, experience, increase our networking and cement our relationship,†Marciniak said.
