The Bishop noted that building latrines within pastoral residences would protect priests from potential nighttime dangers, as they currently risk exposure to various threats when going outside to use the toilet.

Mbitse also urged Christians to shun corruption and robbery, which he described as common evils in the country, particularly among office workers who often solicit bribes disguised as favors.
Bishop Mbitse emphasized that office workers have a sacred duty to serve and welcome clients with integrity, rather than exploiting them by demanding bribes or favors, which undermines the very fabric of public service.
Furthermore, the Bishop appealed to married couples to prioritize love, understanding, and respect in their relationships, urging them to avoid domestic violence and conflicts that can harm their homes.
He underscored that cooperation and mutual understanding are the bedrock of strong, resilient families, enabling couples to navigate life’s challenges with unity, love, and collective strength.

On behalf of the Christians, Patrick Ndaruhutse presented a letter to the Bishop, noting that Muko Church of Uganda Parish comprises three churches: Muko Church of Uganda, Shunga Church of Uganda, and Bitaka Church of Uganda.
The letter also revealed that Shunga Church of Uganda invited the Bishop to officiate the church’s official naming and opening, a momentous occasion for the congregation.
