Bishop David Kiganda gives Ultimatum to government on church closure

Bishop Kiganda who draws his inspiration from the biblical book of Esther were sackcloth was used as a symbol of debasement, mourning, and repentance, stated earlier that extended Church closures are a sign that the nation does not put its trust in God, or credit Him for the past accomplishments in the Covid-19 fight.

Esther 4:1 describes Mordecai tearing his clothes, putting on sackcloth and ashes, and walking out into the city “wailing loudly and bitterly.” This was his reaction to King Xerxes’ declaration giving Haman authority to destroy the Jews (see Esther 3:8–15).

“No one should be surprised when you will see us in this new type of attire while praying and lamenting for our nation and it’s leadership and asking God to forgive us for comparing him to a mere virus,” Bishop Kiganda said on Tuesday.
