The Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa has reiterated Parliament’s stand on the protection of marriage in line with the religious and traditional foundations of Uganda.
Speaking during Uganda Martyrs Day celebrations service at the Anglican site, Tayebwa said the 11th Parliament like the previous ones will not legislate to weaken the institution of the family.
Tayebwa said that Parliament, while executing its constitutional mandate, will not shoot beyond the margins of the laws and religious beliefs in Uganda.
In Uganda, the future of a family is considered continuous with blessing of marriages that result into procreation in fulfilment of God’s biblical command and the norms of the different cultures in the country.
Tayebwa who contributed Shs 50m towards supporting clearing of the Church House loan, assured Archbishop Dr Stephen Kazimba Mugalu that Parliament will continue working with the religious institutions.
He said the current leadership of Parliament will give priority to budgetary allocation of the government tables in respect to supporting the Church.
He rallied everyone present to support the Church financially in order for it to meet its financial obligations and also successfully run its projects. END .
