Ndorwa East MP-Elect Dr. Protazio Begumisa Calls for Religious Tolerance and Unity in Leadership.

Hon. Dr. Protazio Begumisa, the Member of Parliament-elect for Ndorwa East Constituency, has called for tolerance and inclusivity in leadership, urging Christians and the general public to support individuals who present themselves for elective positions regardless of their religious affiliation.
Dr. Begumisa made the remarks during the Rushoroza Kyanamira Parish Kampala Muruka monthly Mass held at MUBS Chapel in Nakawa, where he addressed congregants on the challenges associated with political participation and the need for unity within communities.

He described his political experience as one marked by significant personal and financial strain, noting that the process often exposes candidates to hostility, social division, and criticism. He stated that the demands of political engagement can at times create a sense of isolation, even within one’s own community.
Despite these challenges, the MP-elect characterized himself as “resilient,” indicating that perseverance had enabled him to withstand the pressures encountered during his political journey.
Dr. Begumisa also referenced past tensions within his community, stating that he had previously faced harassment that forced him away. However, he indicated that he has since returned and is ready to work with all stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of reconciliation and coexistence.

Looking ahead to his tenure, he outlined his intention to promote harmony between religion and politics, cautioning against the use of religious differences as a basis for division. He maintained that leadership capability should be assessed on performance and commitment to service rather than religious identity.

He further encouraged the public to support individuals who participate in elective politics, highlighting the sacrifices involved, including financial commitments and public scrutiny. He called for constructive engagement and accountability, noting that leaders should be evaluated based on their delivery in office.
During the event, Dr. Begumisa also made a contribution of UGX 200,000 towards the purchase of Kacuro centre church equipment, in support of parish activities.
