The Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Emmanuel Cardinal Wamala has criticised people whom he said invade church parishes demanding property of priests who die.

(The New Vision, 16th June, 2006) “They go to our parishes and demand for property claiming they are relatives of the deceased,” Wamala said.

He was speaking at the last funeral rites of Patrick Musisi in Namazzi village, Ssisa in Wakiso district. Musisi, who was MP for Busiro South and a DP diehard, died last year. Joseph balikkuddembe Mutebi, the late Musisi’s eldest son who was elected to replace him in Parliament, was installed the heir.

Wamala described the late Musisi as a humble man dedicated to his religion and called upon the heir to emulate his father.

Parliament Speaker Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi promised to give guidance and advise to the heir whenever necessary. Ssekandi recently said he was Speaker for all parties.
