The archbishop of Kampala Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has asked government not to look at religious leaders as opponents or enemies.
Dr Lwanga was delivering his condolence message during a national service for the late archbishop of the church of Uganda Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo at the Anglican martyrs shrine in Namugongo.
