NEWS- Kabale District Woman MP, Hon. Atwakiire Catherine Ndamira found herself at the center of a controversy at St John’s Kamunganguzi Church of Uganda in Kabale District.

The drama unfolded when Ndorwa West County legislator, Hon. David Bahati, asked Atwakiire if she had ever made any contributions to the church.

Before she could respond, Bahati consulted with the Archdeacon Ven. Benoni Byaruhanga the Archdeacon of St John’s Kamunganguzi ardeaconary, who denied receiving any donations from the area legislator.

However, when Atwakiire took the microphone, she cleverly asked the congregation if anyone had witnessed her contributions to the church. To everyone’s surprise, many Christians raised their hands, leaving the church leaders and attendees confused about who was telling the truth.

This incident has sparked rumours and speculation about politics within the church. Some are questioning whether this is a case of “politics in the church” or “church in politics.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Atwakiire has been involved in such a controversy at this church.

On Easter Sunday, she was denied the microphone at a burial ceremony, which was instead given to Katuna Town Council Mayor Elivis Nzeirwe Byonanebye to deliver a speech on behalf of the government.

It’s worth noting that Atwakiire has been actively involved in various community development initiatives, including providing prosthetics for a man electrocuted during construction and encouraging women to foster strong families.

The Kabale District Woman Member of Parliament has also supported fundraising efforts for St. Ignatius University Kabale, contributing 6 million shillings to the project 2m at BDF which was recently held at St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rugarama, honoured her pledge of 100 bags of cement towards the construction of the cathedral Tour among others
