Kabaka birthday run: Minister Mpanga hails Buganda Lands Board as he calls for more kit purchases
The Minister of Lands and Housing in Mengo, David FK Mpanga, has applauded the Buganda Land Board (BLB) for its active participation and support towards the upcoming Kabaka Birthday Run scheduled for Sunday, April 6, 2025.
The 2025 run will mark the Kabaka’s 70th birthday celebration under the theme, “Men for Good Health to Save the Girl Child.”
While handing over the Kabaka Birthday Run kits to BLB Chief Executive Officer Simon Kaboggoza at Bulange on Thursday, Mpanga expressed his joy over the board’s continued commitment to supporting the annual event.
“I am so much overjoyed to hand these kits to the Buganda Land Board who have confirmed participating in the Kabaka Birthday Run as the Kabaka celebrates 70 years of age,” Mpanga said.
Mpanga further encouraged the public to purchase the run kits, which are available at Bulange, Airtel shops, and various outlets.
He noted that the Kabaka himself will officially flag off the run at Lubiri, Mengo on Sunday.
“Let’s buy the kits, available here at Bulange, Airtel shops, and various outlets. Ssaabasajja Kabaka will flag off the run at Lubiri Mengo on Sunday, April 6,” he urged.
Speaking to the media after the kits purchase, Kabogoza emphasized that it is BLB’s responsibility to actively participate in the Kabaka’s Birthday Run every year as a way of celebrating the Kabaka’s birthday.
“It is our mandate as Kabaka’s servants under the Buganda Land Board to participate in this run. All our staff have received the kits, and we are ready to be there at Lubiri to join the Kabaka in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic,” he said.
Mr Kabogoza further called upon all BLB employees and all tenants on Kabaka’s land to take part in the run on Sunday to fulfill the day’s theme. “I urge all occupants of Kabaka’s land also to use this opportunity to support the Kingdom by getting kits for the run,” he said.
The 2025 Kabaka Birthday Run is being held under the theme “Men for Good Health to Save the Girl Child.”
The initiative aims to mobilize men in the fight against HIV/AIDS, with proceeds from the kits contributing towards health initiatives targeting the protection and well-being of the girl child.
Renowned televangelist Pastor Benny Hinn received a rapturous welcome in Uganda as tens of thousands flocked to witness what many have described as a spiritual awakening.
The founder of the World Healing Center Church is currently on a healing crusade in Kampala, hosted by Pastor Robert Kayanja of the Miracle Centre Cathedral.
Day one of the crusade saw an estimated crowd of over 200,000 people gathered in anticipation of divine miracles. In a message shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Hinn expressed joy and awe at the massive turnout and the spiritual energy of the night.
“Precious people, something extraordinary is happening in Uganda. Over 200,000 souls gathered on Night 1 of our Healing Crusade in Uganda! 60,000 lined up at 8AM for a 7PM service. 10,000 pastors stood in unity. And already, 14 nations are represented,” Hinn wrote.
The preacher went on to claim that the power of God was so strong that numerous people experienced supernatural healings. Among the alleged miracles were the disappearance of throat cancer, the restoration of blind vision, and relief from chronic pain.
“The Power of God came down like a mighty river. Throat cancer disappeared. Blind eyes were healed. Chronic pain vanished. This is the move we’ve prayed for… and it’s only just begun,” he added.
The roads leading to the crusade venue were choked with heavy traffic and large crowds on foot, many bringing along loved ones battling various illnesses. The atmosphere was charged with hope, emotion, and spiritual fervor as worshippers sang, prayed, and waited for what they believed could be their miracle moment.
One particularly emotional moment occurred when Pastor Jessica Kayanja, wife to the host pastor, reportedly fell under the “power of the Holy Spirit” after being prayed for by Hinn, prompting cheers and spiritual outpourings from the audience.
However, the crusade has not been without its critics. Some Ugandans online questioned the authenticity of the healing claims, suggesting that such miracles, if genuine, should be demonstrated in medical settings like Mulago Hospital, where countless patients suffer without such divine intervention.
Despite the doubts, the event marks one of the largest religious gatherings Uganda has seen in recent years, and many faithful remain hopeful that this crusade will continue to bring spiritual and physical transformation to those in need.
