Hon. Atwakiire conveyed this message today at Emmanuel Kasheregyenyi Church of Uganda under Muyebe Archdeaconry.

The service, led by Just Ayebare, Diocese of Kigezi Treasurer, provided an opportunity for Hon. Atwakiire to advise Christians on responsible spending.
She emphasized the importance of managing constant expenditures such as meeting family needs and children’s education expenses, encouraging them to spend wisely in preparation for future demands.
