Orombi was enthroned last Sunday at St. Paul's Cathedral Namirembe as the Archbishop of Church of Uganda.

The Archbishop also becomes the bishop of Kampala diocese. Kampala diocesan's secretary, Rev. John Bukure told Sunday Monitor on Friday that the church service would begin at 11:00a.m.

He said the Dean of Province of Church of Uganda, Rt. Rev. Dr. Nicodemus Okile who is bishop of Bukedi diocese would lead the service while Bishop Elisha Kyamugambi of Ankole diocese would be the preacher of the day.

Bukure said it is going to be a flexible service and every body is invited.

"We have invited President Museveni, the vice president and all ministers but most of them have not confirmed to us whether they will be able to make it or not," he said.

The road from Kampala Pentecostal Church to All Saints Cathedral has been reserved for parking and police had promised to guarantee safety of the vehicles.

"Akibua road has also been reserved for parking, vehicles coming from Kololo and Mulago side should use that side of entrance for special parking," he said. A few vehicles with special stickers will park at the Ministry of Information, Nakasero.

Bukure said that tents have been built to accommodate the expected big congregation and that big screens would enable those seated outside to view the proceedings inside the church.
