The prayers which are part of the pre activities of the coronation anniversary are undertaken as a way for Buganda Kingdom subjects of praying to God, asking for longevity and good health of the Kabaka.
The Episcopal Vicar for Entebbe Vicariate Rev Fr Joseph Ssebayiga
has commended Buganda Kingdom for involving missionaries in the introduction of
civilization and religion in Uganda.
Fr. Ssebayiga said was on Sunday speaking during a service at
Bugonga Catholic Parish in commemoration of the 26th Coronation of Kabaka
Mutebi, the 36th King of Buganda.
Kabaka Mutebi will celebrate his coronation anniversary at Nkumba
University in Busiro County on Wednesday.
Fr. Ssebayiga asked Ugandans to emulate Buganda Kingdom in the
introduction of civilization by distancing themselves from acts of murder, torture
and corruption.
“We thank God that missionaries came on invitation of Buganda
Kingdom through Kabaka Muteesa. They introduced civilization which we need to
emulate and learn how to forgive and deter ourselves from acts of murder, theft
and corruption,” Ssebayiga says.
In his message read by Mengo Minister Mariam Mayanja, the Buganda
Kingdom Prime Minister Charles Peter Mayiga prayed for good health of the
Kabaka.
Mayiga also indicated that Buganda strives to have a healthy
population that would enable kingdom subjects to work hard for prosperity.
