The Bishop of North Kigezi Diocese, Onesmus Asiimwe, has issued a strong warning against rising cases of sexual immorality and adultery among church leaders, calling for integrity and repentance within the church.
While preaching during a Holy Confirmation service at Rwanyanja Church of Uganda in Bugangari Archdeaconry, the bishop spoke candidly about the issue, revealing that he had received a report involving a church leader accused of attempting to engage a young girl in inappropriate conduct.
He explained that the girl courageously recorded the incident using her smartphone and later shared the video as evidence. Although he chose to handle the matter discreetly, the bishop noted that such incidents expose deeper moral concerns within church leadership, warning that some individuals present themselves as faithful servants while engaging in misconduct behind the scenes.
Bishop Asiimwe encouraged girls and women, who are often the most vulnerable targets, to boldly document and report such behavior. He urged them to share any credible evidence with him directly, assuring them that appropriate action would be taken.
He further called upon Christians—especially church leaders—to embrace genuine repentance, strong faith, and moral discipline as essential steps toward overcoming temptation and restoring the dignity of the church.
