UGANDA
The Africa Report
By Godfrey Olukya
A top Ugandan Roman Catholic Church bishop has apologised to victims of sexual abuse by the church’s priests in the East African country after a priest exposed the scandal.
Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the leader of the church in Uganda made the apology after a letter written by Father Anthony Musaala exposing the abuse found its way into Facebook.
Last month Father Musaala wrote a letter to Lwanga complaining that many Catholic priests and bishops in the country had wives and children.
He also called on the church to allow Ugandan clerics to marry.
