The pious First Family comprised of Pastor Patience Museveni and the first lady Janet Museveni have reportedly become concerned about the growing scandal at Pastor Aloysius Bugingo’s House of Prayer Ministries. Driven by the recent intervention by Pastor Robert Kayanja and his wife Pastor Jessica Kayanja, who called for Pastor Bugingo to honor his marriage vows in the interest of the church, the first family are concerned that Bugingo may be setting a bad example.
A member of Miracle Centre Church in Kampala who spoke to this newspaper said although they still viewed Pastor Bugingo as an upright man, there is concern that his legacy which they had viewed positively would collapse.
“Mama Janet and Pastor Patience are very religious people. They had counted on Bugingo to be one of the fast rising and good pastors. But what they are seeing today has made them think twice and they could soon start keeping a distance from him, depending on how the scandal goes,” the Church member said.
It is not clear when the members of the first family stated their concerns, but from the facts at hand, Pastor Bugingo is hard pressed and will have to fix his marital woes to remain with a positive legacy.
A major cause of concern for the first family and other members of the right thinking public is that Bugingo is contradicting himself in the ways of the world, something that they were not used to.
“It is difficult to imagine someone standing on the pulpit to legitimize divorce and adultery,” the church member says.
