Why Busoga clerics want Nyege Nyege blocked

Jinja-based Born Again pastors have joined Busoga East Diocese Bishop Paul Hannington Suubi to protest the hosting of the forthcoming Nyege Nyege Music festival in the area.

The International Nyege Nyege Music Festival is scheduled for November 14 to 17 at the Jinja Golf Ground in Jinja City.

However, both the Born Again pastors and Bishop Suubi are vehemently opposed to it, on moral grounds. They claim the festival corrupts the moral stand of Busoga.

“Nyege Nyege festival eludes the moral virtues of our commodities, especially the upbringing of the young generation ,’’ Pastor James Muwumba of Great Salvation Miracle Church said on Sunday while addressing journalists at Evangel Church in Jinja City .

Pastor Muwumba claimed, without offering evidence, that festivals such as the Nyege Nyege are associated with homosexuality.

“Recently Jinja was invaded with homosexuality acts, now it is coming in the form of a festival, but it is coming to spoil our children. We say as Jinja, we don’t need Nyege Nyege. There are many businesses that we can do that can bring more money,’’ he said.

Pastor Zachariah Sserwadda of Evangel Church in Jinja City said the Bible condemns such festivals.
