The clergy in Arua District has warned Christians against abortions saying it's a common practice done by the people (ladies) in the area.
Delivering his New Year’s message at Christ the King Church in Arua on Wednesday, Rev Fr Mawa Abudala, a priest from Nairobi who led the mass said it's wrong to force somebody to die.
"Let's not force people to die through abortions and murders, people should die naturally. The fetus/baby in your womb is innocent but you take a wrong decision to destroy it which isn't good in the eyes of God," he said.
Fr Mawa said this should be one of the resolutions people (ladies) should implement this year. He said it's necessary to have children but people shouldn't destroy them.
"We need a better society that restrains morals. This year should be a year where children are treated well because when schools open, you start complaining that children are finishing your food, budget but we should have good relationship with our children," he said.
He added: "We have very fertile land that could boost production but it's the laziness and idleness of the people that makes such resources unutilised and at the end you complain of poverty. This year, people should go for production so that what has not been achieved last year can be achieved this year."
Fr Mawa advised people to appreciate the little God has given to them and ensure that the love of God grows in them in the New Year 2020.
