Rev. Dickson Kakanyisa, Archdeacon of All Saints Church Rujumbura in North Kigezi Diocese, has expressed his concerns over what he described as the unfair treatment of Dr. Kizza Besigye by the government and military court, calling for an end to the ongoing injustice.
During a Sunday service at All Saints Church, Rev. Kakanyisa criticized the military court for violating Dr. Besigye’s freedom and condemned threatening social media posts by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, which he claimed were contributing to a climate of fear among Ugandan civilians.
Rev. Kakanyisa called for fairness and justice for all Ugandans, emphasizing that such actions were counterproductive to peace and stability in the country.
Additionally, Rev. Kakanyisa praised the late Anglican Archbishop Janan Luwum for his unwavering faith and courage in the face of oppression during the reign of former President Idi Amin. Despite being subjected to severe violations, including his eventual death at the hands of Amin’s regime, Archbishop Luwum remained steadfast in his belief in God, a testament to his strength and faithfulness.
Rev. Kakanyisa urged Christians to follow the example of Archbishop Luwum, advocating for patience, faith, and resilience in their spiritual journey. He encouraged believers to stand firm in their faith, not to compromise, and to avoid seeking alternative gods in the face of challenges.
Rev. Kakanyisa further reflected on how Archbishop Luwum’s deep belief in God helped save Uganda from the hostile injustices of Amin’s regime. He challenged Christians to uphold truth and remain courageous, drawing strength from their faith, especially in times of adversity.
In addition to his remarks on faith, Rev. Kakanyisa also addressed the role of parents in guiding their children. He condemned parents who neglect their children’s spiritual education, calling on them to ensure that their children follow the right path by attending church and learning about the word of God. He stressed that parents must take responsibility for raising their children in faith, rather than leaving them behind when attending worship services.
