Tayebwa's reference to the “holy” MPs invited to the Prayer Breakfast, however, prompted a light-hearted response from Leader of the Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi, who called for the event to be opened to “sinners” as well.
“I want to look at the list, although the word ‘holy’ is from me. If you know that you are holy and your prayers reach God, you can contact Hon. David Bahati for your invitation if you have not yet received your card,” Tayebwa said.
