Uganda's defense minister told religious leaders in Kigezi they need to keep pushing the country's interfaith tolerance vibe because it keeps everything stable. Jacob Oboth hit up a symposium at Kabale Brainstorm High School with over 90 clergy types, and he said President Museveni deserves props for making sure Christians and Muslims can hit the same events without beef.

Oboth also met with veterans and hyped up better pension programs, plus healthcare access that apparently makes people less scared to retire. He laid a wreath at Kabale Stadium for three fighters who got executed back in 1973 under Idi Amin, and the government is building a monument there that the president will unveil at the Tarehe Sita celebration.

The minister said religious leaders carry weight because they address congregations weekly, and people actually listen when they talk. He wants communities to stay respectful and understanding that peace greetings from different faiths are just greetings, not religious statements.
