The Archbishop of the Province of the Church of Uganda Dr Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu has raised concern over the massive land grabbing and encroachment on Church land across the country.


Dr Kaziimba says that a chunk of the Church land has been encroached on because most of the churches have not secured titles for it and calls for government intervention to protect the land that is under threat by ensuring that it is titled.


He was presiding over the golden jubilee celebration for Bunyoro Kitara Diocese in Hoima yesterday where he tasked religious leaders to ensure that they jealously guard the boundaries of church land not to be encroached on by unscrupulous individuals.


Dr Kaziimba also challenged religious leaders to mobilise Christians, especially the youth to tap into opportunities that will come from the oil discovery in the Albertine Graben.
