In his New Year's homily at Rubaga Cathedral, Archbishop Lwanga said the president once said all Ugandans belonged to the Movement system.
"The president one day said all of us belong to the resistance movement. He explained to us why he started the resistance movement. He said I want people to resist bad politics," Lwanga said.
This was the gist of Dr Lwanga's New Year message that hinged on promoting democracy, good governance and resisting bad politics.
Every time Archbishop Lwanga quoted the constitution on freedom of expression or Museveni's historical remarks, he was cheered by the congregation.
Lwanga said as he read the 10 point programme that in democracy, people give in their views and then governments choose the best. "All these ten points are very good for nation building," he said amidst applause.
Lwanga noted that all Ugandans have the duty to promote not division or bad politics but national unity for the development of the country.
Museveni in his New Year message last night lashed at religious leaders saying they "are so full of arrogance. They talk most authoritatively on all and everything even when they have not bothered to find out the truth. This is assuming they do not have evil intentions which would be worse."
But Lwanga said religious leaders are citizens whose freedom of expression is enshrined in Article 29 of the constitution "if it has not also been amended."
Before making utterances, Archbishop Lwanga said politicians and journalists should first read and understand the constitution and appreciate that it is for all Ugandans.
