BUGANDA Kingdom have hailed the Catholic Church for its attempts in defending the rights of the oppressed, the voiceless and marginalised people, composes Josephine Maseruka.
Deputy Katikkiro Emmanuel Ssendaula also commended the house base the Catholic bishops had taken on the disputatious Land (Amendment) Bill.
