RUKUNGIRI- Christians have been urged to invest in education if they want to give their children a brighter and successful future.
The remarks were made by the Rubabo Constituency hopeful Member of Parliament Hon. Mujuni Lawrence Mpitsi Pac Singa during the thanksgiving of the Abeitira clan towards raising funds for the construction of St Barnarbas Rubanga Catholic church in Buyanja Sub County, Rukungiri district.
Hon. Mpisi revealed to the congregation that the only weapon that they can give to their children is education, rather than family riches inherited from their parents that end up being misused since they had not toiled for them.
