Buganda and Miracle Centre, a worship house led by Pastor Robert Kayanja, have formed a partnership to conserve Kabaka’s Lake located in Ndeeba.
The move comes amid the increasing illegal activities around Uganda’s biggest man-made lake which have made it vulnerable to pollution.
Delivering his Easter Message at Miracle Centre in Lubaga, Kayanja said it’s a responsibilty of Ugandans to conserve the environment.
He said Kabaka ‘s Lake has its historical features and it is where the clay that was used to build Lubaga Cathedral, Namirembe Cathedral, and the Lubiri fence was got.
“Conservation of the environment, like Kabaka’s Lake, is very vital; therefore, we need to take more steps to protect it,” Kayanja said.
He said in 1961, more than 500 Pentecostals were baptised in it, hence a reason to celebrate it.
“With the new arrangements with Buganda Kingdom, we intend to keep it so clean and relocate the bad elements that have been doing illegal business around it,” he said.
The lake occupies an area of around 200 acres and is about 4.5 feet deep. It is a home to many water bird species, and is recognized as an important conservation site.
Currently, the lake is partly been filled with waste from different parts surrounding the lake.
