According to the Provincial Secretary, Rev William Ongeng, the meeting which took place at the Archbishop Palace on Namirembe Hill was aiming at looking into the issues of the Diocese after a suspension of Rev Justus Tibesigwa.
Rev Tibesigwa was accused of gross Misconduct which was contrary to the laws governing the Church of Uganda and investigation to be led by the Diocesan Chancellor was instituted to investigate him.
However, this move did not go well with a section of Christians who petitioned Archbishop Ntagali to look into the matter.
Diocese of Kinkizi was created in 1995 out of North Kigezi Diocese and the first Bishop was Rt Rev John Wilson Ntegyereize who retired in 2010.
