President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has donated a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser to the newly consecrated Bishop of Masindi Kitara Church of Uganda Diocese, Rt Rev Joshua Kugonza Amooti, in a gesture of support and goodwill towards the Church.
The vehicle was officially handed over by the Minister of Local Government, Hon. Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi, on behalf of the President.
Speaking after the handover, Balaam described the donation as a recognition of the vital role religious leaders play in guiding communities, promoting moral values, and contributing to national development.
Quoting Scripture, he said: "Let the elders who direct the affairs of the church well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching." (1 Timothy 5:17).
The minister conveyed President Museveni's congratulations to Bishop Amooti and wished him a fruitful and impactful episcopal ministry.
"May God bless our leader, grant him wisdom and strength as he continues to serve Uganda and its people. Congratulations to the Bishop, and may his episcopal ministry be fruitful, impactful, and filled with God's grace," Balaam said.
Rt Rev Joshua Kugonza Amooti recently assumed leadership of the Masindi Kitara Diocese, one of the dioceses under the Church of Uganda, and is expected to oversee spiritual, administrative, and development programmes within the diocese.
