We asked our readers what they remember about the visit and below is a sample of their responses

Bukoma Alex: He united politicians at that time, roads around LUBAGA CHURCH were constructed, KCCA ordered building owners near roads to put pavers, new traffic lights were put along Entebbe road, and many youths were arrested that they were logs (idlers) and also Kabushenga sold rosaries each at 100k!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kisoboka Amooti Ndyanabo: I learnt that he's an ordinary person posing to be next to God, not different from Kakande or Mbonye etc. A person who he claims to be can't have all that security. No faith at all.
