criticism
In April 2014, Bishop Wamika came under fire for his Easter sermon, in which he praised the legislation against homosexuality by President Yoweri Museveni in Uganda and called on parents to report their homosexual children to the authorities. In several blogs and other media outlets, this has been viewed as a call for genocide .
