The Diocese of Mukono has recognized Amos Lugoloobi, Member of Parliament for Ntenjeru North Constituency and State Minister for Planning, for his distinguished service to both the Church and the people of Kayunga District.
Hundreds of Christians, cultural leaders, and government officials gathered at St. Paul’s Church of Uganda Parish, Ndeeba Archdeaconry Headquarters, for a thanksgiving service presided over by Rt. Rev. Enos Kitto Kagodo, Bishop of Mukono Diocese.
Bishop Kagodo commended Lugoloobi for his unwavering support to the Church, his role in promoting education, and his community development initiatives.
He cited projects such as the establishment of Kibuzi Secondary School in Kalina, the construction and renovation of churches and clergy houses, and support to health facilities as evidence of his lasting contribution.
“Lugoloobi is a representative who has not abandoned his people in Parliament. He has left a mark wherever he has served, and more is yet to be seen,” Bishop Kagodo said, also extending gratitude to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for entrusting Lugoloobi with ministerial responsibilities.
The bishop encouraged the minister to remain steadfast in service, reminding him of the biblical call to perseverance.
He further urged Christians to emulate the spirit of Philemon in faith and unity, warning against divisions within the community.
Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala, the Minister for Works and Transport, described Lugoloobi as a hardworking leader whose service was felt even during difficult times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
He called on the people of Kayunga to continue supporting their MP and to safeguard peace, especially as elections draw closer.
In his remarks, Lugoloobi expressed gratitude to God, his family, and the Diocese for recognizing his efforts, pledging to continue serving diligently.
“I am deeply humbled by this honour. It strengthens my resolve to work faithfully for the people of Kayunga and our country,” he said.
Samwiri Ssemugooma, Bugerere County Chief of the Buganda Kingdom, also commended the minister for supporting kingdom affairs.
As part of the appreciation, Lugoloobi received an Award of Appreciation, a Holy Bible, and a bull.
