Bishop Asiimwe was consecrated and enthroned and declared as the new bishop of North Kigezi diocese by the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, the Most Rev Dr Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Magalu at 11:00am.

Archbishop Kazimba handed over Bible, church of Uganda Constitution and canons to Bishop Asiimwe and gave him a go head to read, Exhortation and doctrine and asked him to think about them, be diligent in them and take heed of himself and to doctrine and be diligent in doing them, be the flock of Christ a shepherd not wolf but feed them.

Archbishop Kaziimba also handed over the pastoral staff and diocese to officially start ministry as the Bishop of North Kigezi Diocese and also dedicated the new cathedral into the hand of God.

Archbishop Orombi asked Bishop Asiimwe to be a good shepherd, desist from political engagements, be an example, humble, put trust in God and serve Christians diligently.
