The Bishop of Bunyoro Kitara Diocese, Rt Rev Jacob Ateirweho, has urged churches in the diocese to open bank accounts for proper accountability.
Bishop Ateirweho made this call during the ordination ceremony of 14 Reverend Deacons and 13 priests held at St Peter’s Cathedral Duhaga in Hoima City today.
He explained that during his supervision, it was discovered that some churches have bank accounts that are not being utilized, with church funds being kept at the treasurer’s homes which he condemns.

Reverend Deacon Moses Mpebwa, one of the ordained, requested the youth to join the church in spreading the word of God and promised to preach the Gospel as it is the main reason for his calling.
Out of the 14 Reverend Deacons ordained, 13 were males and one female, while out of the 13 priests ordained, 11 were males and two females.
