Currently, we see many Christian groups such as Catholics, Anglicans and Protestants in east

among others but as they come, they performed certain activities that created an impact on
east Africa which we still see even today.
TASK:
Our past has it that these groups on their coming made a lot of activities which impact
Ugandans. Do you think our past is right? Support your response?
Item 4
In 1986, the National Resistance Movement captured power to rehabilitate the country after a
civil war. President Museveni Kaguta established a ministry of Rehabilitation and the

committees which are still weak and centers of corruption.
TASK.
