From New Vision-
The retired Bishop of South Rwenzori Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Zebedee Masereka, has lashed out at the Anglican community in Uganda, saying it is riddled with corruption.
Masereka, who is the pioneer bishop of the diocese, also condemned discrimination on tribal, ethnic, religious and geographical grounds, saying these are some of the symptoms of stunted Christianity.
He said it was becoming increasingly hard for Anglican churches in Uganda to elect bishops and other high-level church leaders who are not native to the dioceses.
Masereka said corruption had invaded the national electoral process and called upon Christians to take over political offices in order to curb the vice.
He was speaking during celebrations to mark the South Rwenzori silver jubilee at the newly-constructed St.Paul’s Cathedral in Kamaiba in Kasese municipality on Sunday.
Masereka, who is also the NRM chairman for Kasese, said he had come face to face with corruption in the ongoing NRM primaries.
He attributed corruption to spiritual weakness and poor family morals. “Corruption starts at home, so instil the culture of uprightness among your children. Family transformation is the only way to a clean future,” he noted.
