The Bishop of the Diocese of Kasese, Rt. Rev. Francis Aquirinus Kibira Kambale has attributed under development in the district to selfish politicians who seek public mandate on lies.
Bp Kibira described politicians as promoters of idleness and laziness who only engage people in street talks and donate small handouts under what he termed “Peoples Parliament” spending the whole day discussing politics than encouraging them to work.
In his speech shortly after holy Mass during the official opening of Nyakahya Catholic Parish over the weekend on 2nd September 2023, the Bishop encouraged leaders to imitate Jesus Christ as a good leader and wondered why some political leaders have failed to educate the public about developmental issues but instead promote poverty and hate speech for selfish interests.

Hate speech dehumanises the individuals and groups it targets and makes them more vulnerable to discrimination; it erodes the social fabric and hinders peaceful living together in diversity, he added.
Kibira revealed that on 18th November 2023, Diocese of Kasese will officially open her diocesan Hospital Mt St. Mary’s Hospital.
