Namirembe Christians pray for Buganda Kingdom ahead of Bulungibwansi Day

What the report says

Christians at Namirembe Diocese have held prayers for the Buganda Kingdom as it prepares for Bulungibwansi Day celebrations on October 8, according to Nile Post. The service was led by Rev. Henry Lukyamuzi, Vicar of Namirembe Cathedral, and included praise for the kingdom’s leadership and its role in community development and service delivery.

In the message reported by Nile Post, Lukyamuzi thanked the Buganda leadership for what he described as efforts to guide communities and encourage initiatives that improve livelihoods. The prayers were part of the build-up to Bulungibwansi Day, a kingdom-led programme that promotes collective responsibility in areas such as sanitation, environmental management and local service delivery.

The article also says the celebrations will be held at Ssaabawaali Ggombe County headquarters in Kyaddondo, in partnership with local governments. Buganda Kingdom Speaker Patrick Luwaga Mugumbule delivered a message from Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga, who urged higher standards in county-level implementation of kingdom programmes.

Mayiga’s remarks, as presented in the report, stressed that the success of the kingdom’s initiatives depends on how well counties carry them out. The article notes that Kyaddondo County has been recognised as the best-performing county in service delivery for two consecutive years, underscoring the kingdom’s emphasis on local accountability and participation.
