Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi yesterday asked all parents to tell their children to write a petition to President Museveni to hammer home the urgency needed in checking child sacrifice.
At the Anglican service to celebrate Martyrs Day, Bishop Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu of Mityana, who was the main celebrant, asked that all activities of traditional herbalists and witches be stopped and challenged parliamentarians to take the lead in the fight against the vice.
“Those children who are sacrificed daily; remember their eyes are looking at you because they are crying,” he said.
“Let us ask Parliament to help have these witchdoctors chased away instead of debating laws that will protect them,” the bishop told the congregation.
Deputy Speaker Rebecca Kadaga was in the congregation, while Minister without Portfolio Dorothy Hyuha represented the government.
Archbishop Orombi said because very many children have lost their lives in suspected cases of ritual sacrifice, all parents had been asked to tell their children to write a petition to the President and him (Orombi).
“The trend of ungodliness has come to our country. We believe it is a social evil that must be stopped. Children should write their concerns and forward them to me and I will deliver their voices to the President,” he said.
