The Church of Uganda has dismissed the false information that comes from the man called Erich Kasirye with a self-appointed title as the Anglican Chaplain of KCCA and publishes false information about the church of Uganda.
“As the Provincial Secretary of the Church of Uganda, I would like to make it very clear to the public that the Church of Uganda has never appointed a Chaplain to KCCA. Kampala Diocese has not appointed a Chaplain to KCCA. Namirembe Diocese has not appointed a Chaplain to KCCA.”
“When we contacted KCCA, we were told, “We don’t know any Chaplain on the staff of KCCA, and definitely don’t know Erich Kasirye. “He adds.
Erich Kasirye was originally ordained in Busoga Diocese, and later transferred to Namirembe Diocese. Today, however, Namirembe Diocese no longer considers him to be a priest of the Diocese. The Diocesan Secretary said, “We don’t have any dealing with that person. He is no longer a priest of Namirembe Diocese.”
Kasirye has long been associated with the defrocked 2nd Bishop of West Buganda Diocese, Christopher Ssenyonjo, known for his active support of LGBTQ activities.
It should be remembered that Bishop Ssenyonjo was defrocked in 2008 for presiding at a consecration as “Bishop” of a rebel priest into a non-existent denomination. Kasirye worked with Ssenyonjo in his LGBTQ support organization because of the funding he got and, presumably, because he believed in the LGBTQ cause.
The Provincial secretary says that Erich Kasirye is neither an official spokesperson for the Church of Uganda, nor a Communications Officer for the Church of Uganda nor was appointed a Canon by any Bishop or Diocese in the Church of Uganda. He is a self-appointed Canon, and a self-appointed Chaplain to KCCA.
Erich Kasirye has a long history of deception and lack of integrity. The Church of Uganda distances herself from anything he says or writes, and urges the public not to believe the lies he prints.
