President\nYoweri Museveni has eulogised the late Bishop Emeritus Cyprian Bamwoze, former\nBishop of Busoga Diocese describing him as a person who had respect for\nreligion right from his youthful life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019I\nthought I should locate time to come to give testimony about what I know about\nthe late Bishop Bamwoze. This is very important because old men have become\nscarce. I feel pity when I see the young generation without information,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President was this afternoon speaking to Parliament during a session allotted to pay last respects and tribute to the late Bishop of Busoga Diocese, Cyprian Bamwoze at the Parliamentary Building in Kampala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bishop died of leukaemia aged 86 years on Monday at Mulago Hospital. He was Busoga Diocesan prelate from 1972 to 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President said that he had known the late Bishop Bamwoze for the last 57 years having met for the first time in 1962 during a Christian Youth Conference at Nabugabo Youth Camp in Uganda\u2019s Central Region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Youth Camp then was used as a convention where where the elders would brief and guide the young people about living Christian life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was Mulokole and a very active member of the Scripture Union Movement. It was good because it would help the young ones to learn about the Bible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It helped me a lot. At the time, the late Bamwoze was one of the organizers having been Secretary for Youth Affairs in the Church,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Museveni lauded the late Bishop for helping and working with the youth adding; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cwhen you connect the youth with the church, they cannot go wrong. This taught me a lot. Even when we were fighting during the bush war, we were fighting in a Christian way. That is why Uganda doesn\u2019t have a refugees problem,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that before 1986, Uganda had one million of its citizens in exile. He added that the country which was number 4 in the export of refugees, does not have its people as refugees now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
