The Most Rev. Dr. Samuel Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu said this while commissioning structures at Health Facilities established by South Rwenzori Diocese. The structures include; A maternity Ward at Rwesande Health Centre and; a Theater and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Nyabugando Health Centre.
The Archbishop asked the people to produce a number of children that they can manage and to also be thankful for the gift of children regardless of their sex.
Hes stressed that most people have been worried of who to inherit their property when they die especially if one has girl children, and that in search for a male child, one ends up producing many children that he couldnot manage. He said one should not pressurize their spouse to give birth to another sex worry of their heirs because all are gifts from God and thus everything should be left to God.
The Archbishop also said that producing many children whom one cant manage to educate and they end up becoming nuisance in the community they live is also a curse.
His remarks followed an observation that parents in Kasese district still have a tendency of considering the big number of children as wealth, forgetting that once they don’t take good care of them would attract curses
