Archbishop of Church of Uganda Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu has told Christians that there will be no more creation of the new dioceses until further notice.
He said the provincial assembly halted their creation because they were struggling to operate.
Archbishop Kaziimba said only two new proposed dioceses of West Ruwenzori in Bundibugyo District that will be carved out of Ruwenzori Diocese and East Busoga Diocese in Bugiri will only be created.
Kaziimba made the remarks during his pastoral visit to Ruwezori and East Ruwenzori dioceses where he was responding to Christians of Nyantungo Archdeaconry in Kyenjojo District who had requested him that the provincial assembly should allow them to have their own diocese and be carved out of Ruwenzori Diocese.
He will finish his pastoral visit today with the East Rwenzori Diocese in Kamwenge District.
Kaziimba also revealed that currently there is a diocese which he didn’t disclose whose bishop is retiring this year and that it will not have a new bishop as the requirement that you cannot have a new bishop consecrated before clearing the provincial quarter saying that diocese has a debt of over Shs150 million.
Archbishop Kaziimba said after the retirement of that bishop, he would go and remove the pastoral staff and take it to the province and tell Christians to go back to their mother diocese.
