Rev. Fr. Remi Nyengere, the Dean of Katakwi and St. Stephen Catholic Parish priest who received the money explained that they have so far injected Shillings 1 billion into the project, adding that they need at least another Shillings 1 billlion to complete the construction.
Nyengere said the president’s donation has come at the right time because they were struggling to raise money for the project.
Some of the Christians who witnessed the delivery of the money such as Charles Aleper and Raphael Ojakal described Alupo and President Museveni as true leaders.
