    Judgement Is Not For Us, But For The Almighty Who Sent Us Here – Bujjingo Recalls Light Moments With Pastor Yiga, Offers To Give Spiritual Help To His Son Jengo….

    Pastor Aloysious Bujjingo, the founder and lead pastor of House of Prayers Ministries International, in Makerere Kikoni has paid courtesy visit to mourn with relatives and friends of the late Pastor Augustine Yiga alias Abizaayo.

    Bujjingo on his visit to Revival Church Kawaala handed 2 Million shillings to help with burial arrangements to the late Pastor Yiga’s son Andrew Jengo and promised to render more help when needed.

    Bujjingo who described Yiga’s death as a total shock also intimated that they first met when Yiga was still at Pastor Sserugo’s place in Kazo.

    He fondly recalls how they used to play draft (a board game) together, he expounded that it’s that bond coupled with synonymous Christian values that led to their close friendship.

    Bujjingo narrated that they then formed a formidable evangelism team, and from there is where Yiga started his Revival Church in Kawaala.

    “I’ve encountered Yiga many times, but never have we quarreled. You can testify that I’ve never abused him, and neither has be abused me,” Bugingo said, affirming that him and Yiga have been friends regardless of their scarce communication and Christian doctrinal differences.

    Bujjingo narrated that in his home village Masaka, death is an alarm reminder for unity to prevail, and on such occasions, everything else is set aside in solidarity to go and mourn with the bereaved family, unless only if you’re the killer, maybe, would you contradict the procession.

    “In Masaka where I grew up from, we’d not even go to the gardens but all march to the home of the deceased, to comfort the bereaved family members,” Bujjingo said, asserting a common synonym that a friend in need, is a friend indeed.

    “And I personally respect my principals, in that if at all I have a burning issue about you, I look for you, sit you down and tell you about it while you are still alive, I don’t do it against your lifeless body,” he said.

    Further disregarding those faulting the late Pastor, he added, “I want to tell believers and my fellow evangelists that like this assignment, so is judgement, it is not for us, but for the almighty who sent us.”

    Bujjingo with fondness recalled the last time he came face to face with Augustine Yiga, “We met across the stairs at Bat Valley, we momentarily held hands, and hugged.”

    “I paused for a moment and asked him, are you still saved? He said yes,” Bujjingo emotionally narrated, stressing that him and the late have come so far, from the time they used to preach on the streets as poor young men with only God as their valid possession.

    Bujjingo said that he was at the time renting the place for his ministerial work, and Pastor Yiga’s Revival Band had also staged an event there, since it’s a place typically designed for theatre and drama.

    Youthful Jengo Yiga, son to the late Pastor Yiga has been running his father’s church in his absence. Maidenly setting his eyes on Jengo, Bujjingo comforted him, and reminded him that as preachers, it’s understandable that Yiga’s body has left, but the soul has stayed, pledging to always encourage each other.

    “I’m not going to say sorry for your father’s death, I’ll just praise the Lord’s name. Death is the way for all of us. Yiga has died a young man, I am 4 years his senior, and his children are logically my children. I have therefore come to this house like a father,” he stated.

    “One last thing I want say on air, is that my office is wide open for you, at any time. You can come and we discuss on how best to run the ministry,” Bujjingo added, cutting a fatherly figure.

    The 21-year-old preacher acknowledged Bujjingo’s parenthood over him. Jengo declared alliance with Bugingo’s House of Prayer Ministries International.

    Jengo also lightly reminisced about his father’s draft story with Bujjingo which he identifiably described as synonymous with him because his late father talked about it quite a lot.

    Jengo also expressed his readiness to stitch together broken ties with other pastors, bury the hatchet and move on as a new beginning.

    “Pastor Bugembe called me some time back before my father’s death, while seeking for permission to go check on him in hospital, he explained to me that what he had with my father was a disagreement about mode of preaching, and that does not necessarily imply enmity, and neither will it,” Jengo said.

    He also commended other city pastors like Robert Kayanja, and further justified his father’s public foe, Pastor Jackson Senyonga, who criticised Yiga even after his death.

    Pastor Ssenyonga of the Christian Life Church held a press conference yesterday and outrightly condemned Yiga’s deeds, describing his death as a warning to Ugandans to pick lessons and stop looking for quick money and fame that they haven’t worked for.

    “He has left behind so many children and widows, known and unknown, if there is anyone who has children or was hurt by Pr. Yiga, let them come to Christian Life Church and we help them,” he announced.

    Ssenyonga during the press conference also uttered that he hopes that the deceased pastor used his last days on earth to turn to Christ and become born again.

    “I thank God that he had a period of sickness which I hope he used to repent and turn to God. I will be happy if I meet Jesus in heaven and I find him there,” he said.

    Court was shocked when Controversial South Sudan tycoon Jacob Arok and his wife testified before the Criminal Division of the High Court Judge Michael Elubu how they lost their unborn baby in the deadly robbery attack on their home at Kawuku Bunga in Makindye Division a Kampala city suburb.

    Both key State Witnesses confirmed to Court that on the fateful night of 28th August, 2022, city socialist Charles Olim alia Sipapa commanded a gang that attacked their home and robbed money amounting to Shs1.65bn, 4 iPhones, 3 laptops, gold jewelry, an iPhone charger, a mac pro charger and a television set.

    Arok told Court that they got to know about the attack on their home the next day because they were all unconscious during the attack and they had to be rushed to hospital.

    In the Court hearing where journalists and other court attendants were barred, Arok testified that while they were in the hospital, they were informed that their unconsciousness was caused by deadly chemicals which their attackers sprayed in their house on that fateful night.

    He testified that both doctors and police investigators established that Sipapa and other accused persons also used chloroform which they sprayed in the house before robbing them clean.

    Both Arok and his wife testified that due to the excessive chloroform, the wife, who was pregnant suffered a miscarriage and lost the unborn baby.

    However, Sipapa’s lawyers led by Henry Kunya put up a spirited legal fight to dilute the key witnesses’ evidence by tasking Arok to reveal the source of the money he claimed that their client stole from his home.

    Furiously, Arok declined to reveal the source of money wondering why people were not asking why he was poor when was still a pauper in South Sudan.

    He refused to answer the question even though the presiding judge insisted that his role in court was to answer questions and not to ask lawyers.

    Sipapa’s lawyers allegedly told court that Arok was a South Sudanese Commissioner in charge of South Sudan Pension Fund and the stolen money was supposed to be paid to South Sudan Public Servants, but he instead used it to enrich himself and his family.

    theGrapevine established that recently, South Sudan President Salva Kiir complained to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni that there are a number of his government officials who steal public funds and invest the money in Uganda.

    He pleaded with the President to repatriate such officials back to South Sudan so that they are prosecuted.

    Sipapa is being charged together with his wife Shamira Nakiyimba who recently claimed that she has been making deals with security bosses here in Uganda and abroad particularly in Dubai where she spends much of her time. The matter is still ongoing.

    Justice Celia Nagawa of the High Court Family Division has dissolved the marriage between Harriet Generos and Nick Chiles Muramira an officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over adultery and drug abuse.

    In her petition, Generos told court that she got married to Muramira on 28th December 2013 at St. Augustine Chapel, Makerere University in Kampala but they didn’t have any children by the time she filed the divorce petition.

    She further told court that before entering their official marriage, they cohabited together in Kampala, New Delhi India, United Arab Emirates where she works from and Egypt Cairo where the husband was also working from under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    She added that in Cairo, her husband committed adultery and fathered a child with an Ethiopian woman who currently resides in the United States of America.

    She insists in her affidavit that her husband also fell in with bad company while living in Cairo and he started abusing drugs and signing up to dating sites like Tinder.

    She further stated that when she visited him in Cairo, she found feminine items like make up and hygiene products that did not belong to her and during her visit she contracted sexually transmitted infections after being sexually intimate with him.

    “He abused drugs and during some of his episodes, he demanded that I also be intimate with him. He was withdrawn and often returned with red eyes,” she told court said.

    She added that she found stains of drug on his key holder on another occasion on his shorts.

    She insisted that during her stay in Dubai, she underwent spinal fusion surgery and although her husband was on leave in Uganda and spent millions of money purchasing for him an air ticket to travel to Dubai to see her, he never made any attempt to visit her much as she wanted to use the visit to rebuild their relationship.

    She explained that after being discharged from Dubai hospital, she traveled to Cairo to meet the husband only to be informed that he had taken school fees loans for non-existent children. On another occasion, she found out that he had a girlfriend who he was cohabiting with in Cairo.

    “I was subjected to various forms of torture including silent treatment, psychological abuse, rejection, ridicule and lies contrary to the principles of sanctity of Marriage,” she testified.

    She told court that during their marriage, they owned a number of properties including their matrimonial home in Bukoto Kampala, land in Mbarara where they planted trees to which she contributed Shs 4,000,000 and others. The trial judge agreed with the petitioner on grounds that the respondent did not file a defense even though he was served through WhatsApp.

    She explained that divorce can be allowed on the following grounds; when one of the partners has been guilty of adultery, has changed his or her profession of Christianity for the profession of some other religion, and gone through a form of marriage with another man or woman.

    Other grounds include; When one has been guilty of bigamy, has been guilty of rape, sodomy or bestiality, has been guilty of cruelty or has been guilty of desertion, without reasonable excuse, for two years or upwards.

    She noted that the petitioner has proved cruelty and Adultery as the grounds for her divorce and thus allowed the petition.

    However, on the issue of the matrimonial home which the petitioner wanted sold so that they share the money according to each one’s contribution during its purchase, the judge noted that she cannot issue an order against it since it was registered in the names of Muramira’s mother not in the names of the partners.

    She further ordered that Muramira refund the Shs400m the wife contributed in the buying of their land in Mbarara and also compensate her with Shs1.5m for the time she used when supervising work on the land.

    Muramira was also ordered to pay costs of the petitioner to the divorced wife and lawyers.

    National Unity Platform’s Lubaga Division Mayor Zacchy Mbereze commonly known as ‘taata Namuli’ has been placed on suicide watch as banks plan to auction his Mutundwe multibillion home plus other properties worth millions of shillings over debt.

    City Court bailiffs of Fineline-Strict Auctioneers have given Mberaze 14 days from 20th March 2024 to clear the debt he has which is in billions of shillings to avoid the consequences of auctioning his properties.

    “Upon instructions from our client, a financial institution, we shall proceed to sell the under mentioned motor vehicle, unless the(defaulter/debtor) pays to us the entire outstanding loan balance) principal, interest before the expiry of fourteen days from the date this advert published,” the Court bailiffs advert in today’s daily reads.

    Highly placed sources close to Mberaze told theGrapevine that Mberaze is fighting tooth and nail to make sure that he saves his Mutundwe home to avoid embarrassment especially from his political enemies who have already started celebrating his financial troubles.

    Sources claim that Mberaze mortgaged his matrimonial home without the consent of his wife and she is currently pressurizing him to save the home insisting that they are not ready to vacate the house to be auctioned.

    Mberaze’s financial troubles started in 2022 when he developed a misunderstanding with his deputy Rehame Fuge who was helping him to fetch money to service his financial loans.

    Sources said that Mberaze was told that Fuge is cheating him on commission in one of the commercial deals they sealed.

    When contacted for a comment over the matter, Mberaze said that he was in the middle of the meeting. He promised to get back to us to explain his side which he did not do by press time.
