Byamugisha vows to boost sports and nurture talents in Mitooma

Forget about a hadith from Abu Hurairaand the Qur’an teachings that the poor enter paradise before the rich half a day; “If you been tested by Allah with poverty, be patient and don’t be sad. Look at the bright side. The poor will enter paradise before the rich people!” A hadith from Abu Huraira.

To the minister for Internal Affairs Gen. Kahinda Otafiire the poor have no any place in heaven thus he urges people to work hard than lamenting their plight.

“Poor people will not go to heaven because they insult and accuse God of their flights  through lamentations everyday. Why do you disturb God by asking him for money all the time yet he gave you hands, eyes, brains, ears, land, and rains amongst others? The tools he gave you are enough to make you prosper,” Otafiire said.

Otafiire made the remarks on Sunday at while officiating at the opening of a boys’ dormitory of St Klaus Comprehensive Trade School in Bufunjo village, Kifuka Town Council in Kyenjojo district.

He said some people do not want to work but wants to get rich and when they fail they start accusing God.

“If you do not use the tools God gave you, do not blame him when you remain poor. Strive to overcome poverty because being rich is glorious,” Otafiire said.

Blessed Vines ad

Otafiire also advised parents to invest in education which he said is a foundation for development both at the household and national level.

“If you do not educate your children, whatever is left for them will be squandered including land or money due to poor management. But if you instil in them knowledge through education, you are assured of great benefits,” Otafiire said.

The main celebrant of the mass was the Bishop of Fort Portal Diocese, Rt Rev. Dr Robert Muhirwa, who in his sermon advise Ugandans to embrace vocational and technical education stating that it promotes economic self-reliant through job creation.

The Headteacher, Sr Rosemary Kemigisa, said the school was founded in 2015 and currently has an enrolment of 775 children both at the primary and secondary levels.
