KIGO — Some of Uganda’s most prominent Christian leaders gathered at Serena Kigo on Friday, 6 November 2026, for the Patriotic League of Uganda National Religious Leaders Breakfast Meeting, an engagement that brought faith leaders and PLU officials together for discussions on national unity, religious leadership and mutual respect.
The meeting was convened by PLU General Secretary Rt. Hon. Twalla Fadil, who attended as Chief Guest, alongside Mr. Steven Rutasharara, Commissioner for External Affairs, and other PLU officials.
Among the religious leaders present were Pastor Robert Kayanja of Miracle Centre Cathedral, Apostle Grace Lubega of Phaneroo Ministries, Bishop Joseph Sserwadda, Pastor Jackson Ssenyonga, Bishop David Kiganda, Pastor Tom Mugerwa and Pastor Imelda Namutebi, among others.
The gathering provided an opportunity for PLU leadership to engage directly with some of the country’s established Christian voices on the relationship between faith, responsible leadership and national development.
Fadil emphasised the importance of faith in leadership, observing that “A journey led in the fear of God is a journey destined for greatness.”
The discussions also provided room for candid exchanges. Several religious leaders raised concerns over recent public criticism directed at Born-again pastors, particularly remarks made by Frank Gashumba. They emphasised the importance of mutual respect and cautioned against statements that could create divisions between religious communities and the wider public.
The engagement brought these concerns directly before the PLU leadership, alongside broader discussions about unity, patriotism and the role of religious institutions in Ugandan society.
The breakfast meeting reflected PLU’s engagement with established community institutions, recognising the place of faith leaders in public dialogue, social cohesion and community development.
At Serena Kigo, the conversation went beyond formal introductions. Religious leaders had an opportunity to speak openly, raise concerns and engage the national Secretariat on matters affecting their communities, making dialogue itself an important part of the day’s proceedings.
