The message I will always give is that humanity cannot deal with present day problems without a basis of religion.
At a press conference in Kampala, His Royal Highness, reiterated that he would not give advice of a political nature to his followers other than that they should identify themselves with the development of the countries of their adoption and be loyal citizens. He said that whether they formed parties or joined existing ones was entirely a matter for the individuals’ decision. He stressed that his authority was purely spiritual.
