City pastor wants Uganda flag changed

A city pastor, Isaac Lubega has come out to say that the current Uganda flag where the Crested Crane is standing on one leg and looking backwards is not representative of the country. He proposes that a change is required to introduce a flying crane to symbolise that the country has intentions of moving forward.

Lubega argues that the crested crane standing on one leg ‘facing the dead end’ ignores the strides Uganda has made towards economic, social and political development.

The current national flag was designed by then Minister of Justice Grace Ibingira, approved by the British administration and adopted on 9th October 1962.

Lubega adds that the new proposed National flag will consist of; a red star and the compass, symbolising the Spirit of nationalism and Leadership rotation, 15 Black stars, referring to the 15 Ethnic political regions of Uganda with the spirit of unity and ownership.

White and Flying Crane representing Pure characters and prosperity, Black symbolizing Redemption and patriotism , Yellow representing Righteousness and stability and Red ;symbolizing Confidence as well as Development.
