MTN Uganda has donated UGX 10 million to the Bunyoro Kitara Diocese in support of the consecration of Bishop Jacob Akweteireho.
The telecommunication company has Tuesday presented a dummy cheque to Bishop Samuel Kahuma, the retiring Bishop, by Olive Mwesigwa, General Manager of MTN Uganda Hoima.
According to Mwesigwa, MTN Uganda is deeply committed to supporting the development of the church highlighting the introduction of a merchant code for Bunyoro Kitara Diocese, which enables people to contribute money easily and promotes the use of MTN MoMo Pay.
She encouraged more people to use the code to support the diocese’s work.
Bishop Samuel Kahuma, the retiring Bishop of Bunyoro Kitara Diocese, expressed his gratitude to MTN Uganda for their generous support.
He praised MTN Uganda for their consistent support to the diocese, citing the introduction of the MoMo Pay code as a game-changer for their financial transactions.

Rev Canon Jacob Ateirweho will be consecrated as the 6th Bishop of the Diocese on August 11, 2024 at St. Peter’s Cathedral, Hoima. He replaces Bishop Samuel Kahuma who has clocked the mandatory retirement age of 65 years.
