The Bishop of Kiyinda - Mityana Diocese, Rt. Rev. Joseph Anthony Zziwa called on me at State House, Entebbe.
I thank the Bishop for working with the government to fight poverty through socio-economic development programs and for guiding the people of the Diocese in embracing projects that can help them get out of poverty, like the growing of coffee and rearing cows for milk, among others.
We shall continue to support the Diocese in its continuous fight against poverty among Ugandans.
At Baralegi State Lodge, I was joined by political, cultural and security leaders of Acholi sub-region who I had invited, to talk about the problem of cattle rustling by the Karamojong raiders. I assured them that we know about the potential and limitations of the issues they raised and we shall solve this problem decisively .
On behalf of the Government, the people of Uganda and my own behalf, I extend my warmest congratulations to his Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla on the joyous occasion of his Majesty’s Coronation.
Uganda and the United Kingdom enjoy brotherly and cordial bilateral relations, which we must harness further for the mutual development and prosperity of the two countries and its peoples.
Additionally, cooperation between our two countries can be strengthened further at multilateral levels through our joint membership in the United Nations and the Commonwealth.
I wish his Majesty and Her Majesty Queen Camilla good health and success.
