Kaziimba rebukes corrupt officials, condemns sexual immorality in Easter message

Kaziimba who was giving his Easter message at his residence in Namirembe, Kampala on Thursday, 6 April 2023 in the presence of the media said corruption is a matter of personal integrity that needs to be dealt with.

“Corruption is a matter of personal integrity. It is a matter of greed and entitlement. But it is far more than that. You must answer to a holy and all-powerful God. Do you fear Him? If you feared Him, you would trust that He has risen to empower you to follow the Bible’s command. Do the right thing and return whatever you have taken and add a top-up,” he said.

He added: “In Luke Chapter 19:8, there is a story of a corrupt tax collector called Zaccheus who defrauded his people of money by overcharging. After encountering Jesus, he returned everything he had stolen and topped up with FOUR TIMES what he had stolen. For any of you who have taken anything that is not yours, I call upon you to return it and top-up with something extra. It does not have to be Zaccheus’ four times the amount. However, do top-up something.”

Kaziimba also pointed out sexual immorality as a challenge Uganda is currently facing saying that besides homosexuality, heterosexual immorality is also proving to be a challenge.

“The second matter I want to address to you today as a Father in God is the challenge of sexual immorality in our country. I have phrased this challenge very deliberately as the “challenge of sexual immorality” – because it is not only homosexuality that is challenging us. But heterosexual immorality is also challenging us. Fornication, defilement, rape and adultery are attacking our families, our souls, and our country,” he said, adding that homosexuality is a challenge because it is being forced on Uganda by outside foreign actors against the country’s will, against its culture, and religious beliefs.

“They disguise themselves as “human rights activists,” but are corrupting real human rights by adding LGBTQI+ to their agenda,” Kaziimba said.

He added: “Homosexuality is already illegal in Uganda and we appreciate Parliament in upholding that position. LGBTQ relationships should not be promoted in school curricula, in cartoons, in so-called “human rights workshops,” or any other forum as normative. There is no moral equivalence between LGBTQ relationships and lifelong, heterosexual, monogamous marriage. The Bible teaches, and scientific studies have shown, that children flourish when they are raised by both their mother and father, and with the presence, involvement, and support of their extended family. This is the African way; this is the Biblical way; and this is the way shown to us through natural law.”
