NEWS– The Secretary General of the National Resistance Movement, Rt Hon Richard Todwong, has urged religious leaders to prioritize preaching the gospel of wealth creation and fighting poverty among households and mphasized that Ugandans should not only depend on prayers for wealth but should also work hard to earn money for their families.
Hon Todwong made the remarks yesterday May 22nd 2024 in Kagadi District while addressing believers of the ‘Faith of Unity’ at Kapyemi Healing Centre, at the invitation of Omukama Ruhanga Owobusobozi Bisaka, the head of the faith.
Hon Todwong noted that praying to God alone is not sufficient to bring food and other necessities to the table and people cannot be in church from Monday to Monday or January to December without working and expecting to achieve wealth.
He however thanked the Faith for teaching believers to work hard to fight poverty in families and love for unity among Africans irrespective of tribes, a value similar to that of National Resistance Movement and added that poor people never worship God well or preach unity or even forgiveness.
Todwong commended Omukama Ruhanga and his followers for supporting and believing in the strategic guidance and leadership of President Yoweri Museveni, who is also the NRM’s National Chairman.
In his speech, Omukama Ruhanga Owobusobozi Bisaka thanked President Museveni and his government for bringing relative peace and freedom for all people to worship and also praised the government for poverty alleviation interventions like the Parish Development Model and Emyooga, which have improved the welfare of people at the household level, and pledged full support to the government.
