Budadiri West Member of Parliament Nathan Nandala Mafabi has urged religious leaders and funeral organizing teams to regulate funerals so as to eliminate unnecessary conflicts.


According to Nandala, there is a growing habit in Bugisu where politics is prioritized over religious observance during funerals. Citing Lango region, where funeral programmes are well-structured, with funerals completed by 3:30pm, Nandala said the model should be adopted in Bugisu Sub region.

Speaking at the funeral of his longtime supporter, Mafabi Sam Wangota in Patto, Buwalasi Sub County in Sironko District, Nandala urged political actors to control their emotions in what is expected to be a highly charged political year.

Rev. Jackson Magombe, the head of clergy at North Mbale Diocese urged the mourners to live purposeful lives and love one another for a better world.
