Speaking at a press conference convened by the Diocese of Kampala organizing committee at St. Andrew’s Church of Uganda in Bukoto Kampala, Archbishop Kazimba emphasized the importance of tree planting as it would restore the ever deteriorating environment.

He said it should even be a mandate for the clergy in the church not to baptize children if their parents have not planted a tree for their children and theirs.

He added, they should not just plant trees but mostly fruit trees where their children will eat from when they grow up in memory of baptism.

He applauded the Jubilee organizing committee for the greater strides towards having massive cerebrations since the inception.
