Kasana Luweero Bishop Paul Ssemwogerere has expressed surprise in his Easter message that the Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura was approached for a bribe and seemed to condone the request.
Last week, a recording leaked on social and mainstream media of Police officers led by IGP Kayihura interrogating Deputy Kampala Lord Mayor Suleiman Kidandala in Masindi district.
In the recording a voice was heard asking the IGP Kale Kayihura two million shillings for allegedly ‘self rehabilitation’ which locally referred as ‘’Okwekubaako Enfuufu”. Kidandala has since confirmed featuring in the recording but denied asking for the two million shillings.
While preaching on Easter Sunday at Kasana Cathedral, Ssemwogerere described the request as corruption.
Ssemwogerere said he expected IGP Kayihura to immediately order for the arrest of the man but instead his silence seemed to condone the request.
Ssemwogerere said Kayihura's silence at the request sends a very damaging message out to the public.
Ssemwogerere went ahead to appeal to the congregation not to engage in vote bribery in the May 22 elections for Luweero Woman MP because the Bible condemns such acts.
Bwanika Bbale a local politician noted the IGP failure to arrest the corruption suspect is a sign of moral decadness in every institution of government.
// Cue in;”Very very touching…
Cue out;…very unfortunate.”//
Luganda Byte.
// Cue in;”Bishop abulidde bulungi…
Cue out;…eyamusaba enguzi.”//
The Kasana Cathedral Head of Laity Charles Ssebyala says that the Bishop’s message was timely and depicted how corruption is eating into every institution of the government.
John Mukasa, a Christian, says that by now IGP Kayihura could have resigned long ago for abetting such an act but it’s unfortunate he is unmoved by all calls. Mukasa says such acts of corruption show how the government wastes resources and denies them services.
Recently IGP Kale Kayihura admitted that 87 tapes had gone missing which were recorded while taking statements on various people in police investigations in affairs of political parties. However he has not commented on whether money was given to the people who asked for it on the tapes.
