Bishop decries declining morals, rising impunity

Kasana-Luweero Diocese Bishop Paul Ssemogerere has decried the declining morals in society.
Bishop Ssemogerere observed that many people, especially the youth, lack discipline in many aspects of life, including the dress code.

“We are caught up in a situation where many people have lost the moral fibre and act with impunity. We should copy the culture of a football game where discipline has remained a key factor on the pitch. It is high time that the obligation of building morals is not left to a particular group or government but a call for everybody,” observed the prelate.

He made the remarks on Sunday while presiding over mass organised by Mr Charles Nsereko, a Nakaseke-based businessman, to congratulate Bulemezi football team that won the Buganda Kingdom Masaza cup recently.

The bishop said many people today no longer observe social etiquette.

“When you see people disrespecting the set rules that govern society, act like wild beasts, and act selfishly, you get worried about our destiny. I urge Buganda Kingdom to join the campaign of instilling the morals in our population,” he added.
Mr Nsereko urged the Baganda to embrace the team work spirit the way the soccer teams and fans exhibit during competitions. He donated a bull and about Shs50m to the football team and officials.

The national treasurer of the ruling NRM party, Ms Rose Namayanja, rallied Baganda to support government projects and embrace the culture of hard work.

“We thank the people of Bulemezi, including the Luweero District chairperson, Mr Ronald Ndaula, the minister without Portfolio, Hajj Abdul Nadduli, among other good-hearted people for supporting the cause of development in Buganda. It is now time to work hard and engage in productive work,” Ms Namayanja said.
