The Archbishop then proceeded to launch a petrol station that belongs to the Diocese of Kigezi as an income generation project. The proceeds are meant to facilitate the work of the clergy.

His Grace Dr. Kaziimba-Mugalu addressed Christians that had gathered to meet him at Hamurwa Church of Uganda.
