Hundreds of people from Masindi district and beyond are thronging a hill in Rwensa cell, Nyangahya division, Masindi district to have a look at what is believed to be the Blessed Mother Mary who is said to have appeared there.

The Blessed Mother Mary is reported to have been seen first by a man who was grazing cows near the hill last evening who later informed others, triggering the mass movement to the area.

One of the women who went to the area first reportedly got possessed by the Holy Spirit who ordered her  to inform one Francis Ogenmungu, a catholic from Kabalye cell, Karujubu division, Masindi who  had  reportedly been praying to the Blessed Mary since August this year.

Ogenmungu, who was also at the site, told BBS FM that he easily believed the woman’s words  since he had been praying for the Blessed Mary’s intervention and he went with his area catechist  to the site.

Ogenmuntu added that he immediately saw the Blessed Mother in a dark cloud dressed in shining colors with a white veil on her head.

John Kiiza, a teacher at Green Field Secondary school in Masindi municipality who was also at the site, also confessed to having seen the Blessed Mary.

Christine Akumu, a resident of Kabalye 1 Cell in Karujubu division also confessed to have seen the Blessed Mary saying she first saw a round bright light before the image of the Blessed Mary appeared.

Believers were praying and singing worship songs in the area at the time of filing this story.

However, Reverend Father Joseph Birungi, the Episcopal Vicar Masindi Vicariate said he was planning to visit the ground to ascertain the situation and later report to the diocese.

In Bushenyi—

Bushenyi district public accounts committee PAC yesterday chased twice the district Engineer Barnabas Mbonimpa Kiiza after he failed to account for one billion shillings meant for roads.

The committee chaired by Kamadhi Muhammed from Kyamuhunga town council told the media after the hectic day that the internal and external auditors queried the fake accountabilities provided by Eng. Mbonimpa and asked PAC to investigate him so that he vomits the money.

The roads that are in poor shape according to Johnson Nagasha are in Kyeizooba, Bumbaire, Kyabugimbi, Ruhumuro, Bitooma whereas the money was released to work on them in the four quarters of last year.

Nagasha noted that they will ensure that Mbonimpa refunds the money or he is interdicted and demoted.

Mbonimpa has been Bushenyi district engineer since early 1990s. He was an engineer when greater Bushenyi still had Ntungamo as one of its counties.

The new Chief Administrative Officer Ms. Phionah Sanyu spent the whole day in PAC meeting looking at all the staff that had queries and she told www.mknewslink.com after the meeting that the new chapter must be started because she can’t allow to work in an environment where staff are corrupt.

The chairperson of the roads committee Hon. Annet Mugisha Katusiime resigned recently because of the mess in the roads sector orchestrated by Eng. Mbonimpa.

The supervisor of works in the department Eng. Katungi retired early this financial year and the member of the committee Nagasha told www.mknewslink.com that Katungi must come back and account for the one billion he spent with Mbonimpa.

In Sheema—

The foundation of everything gives it a good shape, in fact it also applies to the approach and how you plan to come up with something strong.

Central Ankole diocese ,CAD right from the process of formation was like a balloon; vulnerable and easy to lose, either wind may blow it in any direction or  it is pierced by something.

Some people think they can start, and implement their resolutions on behalf of others without engaging them, Alas it’s a mistake. A section of Christians sits somewhere ,drafts something and starts vending the idea to others without prior engagement in shaping.

They, however forget that refusal by one parish may cause the denial to grant the whole district a

diocese, were all parishes engaged?

Were people of influence in the church like Canon Charles Aine engaged in the quest for the diocese? This is a man with big influence in the province of the church of Uganda, he is from Rukondo, he was not engaged and he means a lot in the decision of the church in Uganda.

In the last time synod ,after all deliberations by the members on the matters concerning CAD for about an hour , the canon raised his arm ,and asked to conclude the matter ,his decision and appeal to give CAD another formation sealed everything.

The people behind the quest for the diocese have learnt nothing from such signals; Canon Charles is powerful in the church , recently when the archbishop visited the diocese to open Nicholas foundation, he slept at Canon Charles Aine home, leaving all the beautiful hotels ,diocese guest houses among others ,what do they think was being discussed during that lengthy visit?

Another mistake was that people of vast experience in the church were excluded and instead young Kampala people were fronted; the likes of Muhangi,Ekanyas , Benard Makaru and others ,where are you now. Same person fronting an idea of a new diocese is saying plan B, distance yourselves from such people when agitating for serious decisions.

The trails of voting out historicals from the church structures which was intended created a big mistake, there are people of influence whom the bishop gives a call while in his sitting room, you don’t engage them ,you lose.
Let’s build from the mistakes we made last time, we engage everybody in this we shall see CAD here without using a lot of energy.
