PHOTOS: Uganda Parliament members invite clerics to sanitise house

The Ugandan Parliament members on Thursday welcomed over 100 religious leaders across the country to pray for and sanitise the house following a series of fights amongst them in the past weeks.


On September 27, a fight ensued among the legislators leaving many injured, about 25 suspended and several others arrested.
The fight started after a member of the opposition party accused a fellow minister of smuggling a gun into the chambers.
According to Ugadanmonitor, a group of Pentecostal Christian leaders converged inside the Parliament chambers to cleanse it of what they called ‘evil spirit’ following the recent chaos.

The religious leaders were led by a renowned Ugandan pastor, Julius Oyet, who prayed and sanctified the chambers with the blood of Jesus.
He was quoted as saying; “We pray for wisdom and guidance. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prevail and that she will not die prematurely.

“We speak peace in this chambers and rotation of leaders, we pray for a sober spirit as members debate the Bill and silence all other spirits in this place. We pray that whatever they do, will be done with fear, peace, love, unity and respect for one another.”
