Bishops concerned 'political uncertanity hovers Uganda'

Catholic Bishops have issued a statement about the post-election situation in the country, among other things, saying that "uncertainty continues to hover over many parts of our country". 

In the statement released by the Uganda Catholic Secretariat in Nsambya and signed by th Archbishop of Gulu Archdiocese John Baptist Odama, the bishops said that after elections; "many people appear to be unhappy, discouraged and bitter, as if hope for a better and a more united country had been lost." 

"All political leaders should explore democratic dialogue for the electorate to discuss their grievances openly at various levels as a strategy to promote political accountability.

We continue to call on political leaders to give priority to the politics of inclusion other than politics of exclusion," the bishops said.
