Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Musasizi, who is also the Member of Parliament for Rubanda East and the NRM Chairperson of Rubanda District, fulfilled his pledge of cement today.
The new church pulpit was delivered last week and officially unveiled on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
The 50 bags of cement, delivered by Pius Tumwiine, the LC.3 Chairperson of Bubare Sub-county (also known as Small), were presented on behalf of Musasizi. The cement aims to complete construction work on the house of the Catechist at the church located in Butuurwa Village, Kyocyezo Parish, Nyamweru Sub-county, Rubanda District.
Mr. Tumwiine explained that Minister Musasizi’s consistent donations to local churches are intended to supplement the efforts of congregants, who are often required to contribute towards various church development projects and physical needs.
“For instance, donating the church pulpit and cement means the Church can save money that would have been spent on these items and redirect those funds to other development projects,” Tumwiine stated.

Now, he has fulfilled his pledge of cement in less than a week. We are very grateful, and we will always pray for his blessings,” Asaasira said.
