Ugandan MPs Want Probe Into Claims That Clergy Spy for Museveni

A section of Christian legislators want to probe allegations that the church has been infiltrated by security and intelligence organs to spy for President Yoweri Museveni. On Good Friday, the Archbishop of the Kampala diocese Cyprian Kizito Lwanga said that he'd been anonymously informed that the state had recruited several clergy to work as undercover agents - and that these agents had since told Museveni that the archbishop was plotting to overthrow his government.
