Thursday marked 5 years since Rtd Archbishop Dr Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo died.
The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, the Most Rev. Dr Samuel Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, has applauded the late Archbishop, Dr Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo, for being a great man during his reign.
Dr Kaziimba revealed this at the memorial lecture of the late Nkoyoyo at the Uganda Martyrs Anglican Museum in Namugongo.
“He was a great man and he loved everybody in their capacity,” he said adding that “he was so developmental, and was a unique preacher of the gospel”
Dr Kaziimba also confirmed to the people that the late Nkoyoyo was a vision bearer who started the Church House project.
“This place (Anglican museum Namugongo) was his vision and he was also an implementer,” the Archbishop added.
“I am so grateful and if he comes back now, he will be smiling because all his visions have been implemented by the Church of Uganda with the help of the government,” he added.
Meanwhile, President Yoweri Museveni in a statement read by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Dr Ruth Nankabirwa, who represented him at the memorial lecture, confirmed to Anglicans that government shall continue to support the Church to complete its projects.
“I personally knew the late Nkoyoyo and I can testify that he used his time on earth to do good and helped people. He also loved GOD,” the president said.
Before adding “Like always I say, what matters most is what you do while on earth. At the time of his death, the late Nkoyoyo’s worry was the Namugongo project that he helped initiate”
“Years back, this place was a deserted area (olukande) until 2013 when my friend on behalf of the Church of Uganda decided to redevelop it. He came to me and requested support which I together with my family and the Uganda government accepted to support,” the President revealed.
