The leadership of Kinkizi Diocese has refuted claims that the diocese rejected a donation of iron sheets from information minister Chris Baryomunsi during the Thanksgiving service of Diocesan Bishop Dan Zoreka, marking his 13 years of dedicated service to the Lord in the capacity of a bishop.
At the function held at the Nyakatare cathederal on Sunday, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi, the Minister for ICT and National Guidance, declared his intention to provide iron sheets for the entire roof of the cathedral.
Applause erupted from the congregation, acknowledging the significance of the gesture. However, the story took an unexpected turn when a certain media house reported that the church had rejected Dr. Chris Baryomunsi’s generous offer. The news, it seemed, had sparked confusion and raised questions about the church’s stance.
Bishop Dan Zoreka says that the church had not rejected Dr. Chris’s offer; instead, they wanted to ensure transparency and gratitude for an existing contribution.
It turned out that Dr. James Musinguzi Garuga, a devout Christian, had already purchased the iron sheets for St. Peter’s Cathedral. The church, recognizing and appreciating Dr. Garuga’s generosity, simply acknowledged his contribution and encouraged Dr. Chris Baryomunsi to support the roofing project financially, considering the substantial cost involved.
Bishop Dan Zoreka’s clarifications echoed through the hallowed halls, reassuring the congregation and the community at large. The truth prevailed over the misleading reports, and the spirit of unity and gratitude prevailed.
Not one to be deterred, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi returned to the forefront, demonstrating his commitment to the cause. In a heartfelt gesture, he contributed 20 million UGX in cash to support the roofing project.
The church and the congregation welcomed this additional generosity with open hearts, understanding that their unity and shared purpose were far more significant than any misreported news.
