Can. Kazibwe revealed that, “We need to build another chapel that is going to accommodate all of us and that which lifts the glory of God in such an institution”.
Thanking those who contributed and entrusted the school management with their money, Mr. Kazibwe said, the entire project will cost UGX 14 Bn.
Asked why a chapel is that important in a first world school like Kings College Budo, Can. Kazibwe said, it is all about producing learners with Character.
“The country needs people with character that can transform their areas of jurisdiction. The challenges we have in most developing countries, are people who can not be trusted with public funds. A chapel trains people to be honest, to be with integrity, to be people who have a feel for others. And that is why at Kings College Budo, we need a chapel.” Kazibwe told journalists.
According to Can. Kazibwe, work is expected to start this year, mid November, and will be completed within a year.
