Kyamanywa Julius
The Banyoro have called upon to pray and give thanks to God, the almighty for the golden chance of oil discovery he has blessed the region with. The call was made by the Bishop of Hoima Catholic Diocese, Deogratious Byabazaire on Sunday while presiding over a mass at Makerere University .

"Musiime mukama habwa byoona Bunyoro etungire. Atuhaire oil, obusinge home nebindi", he said, literally meaning, "give thanks to God for all that Bunyoro has got. He has given us oil, peace and much more".

The Bishop added that a Munyoro can now walk head high since they have something to count.

The function was organized by Hoima Diocese External Residents Association (HOIDERA). HOIDERA is an association that was formed in 1982 as a "part time" meetings driven team and has since grown to a chaplaincy of 210 members who pray together regularly.

Present at the function were the 2nd Deputy Prime minister and minister of Public Service, Henry Muganwa Kajura Mutalindwa (prime minister) of Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom , Emmanuel Kiiza Alibankoha and several members from the clergy fraternity.
