Businessman and social commentator Frank Gashumba has sparked fresh debate after describing Pastor Aloysius Bugingo as Uganda’s only genuine pastor while accusing other religious leaders of being thieves.
Gashumba made the remarks during his recent appearance on his weekly show on Radio 4, where he questioned the conduct of pastors and prophets who claim to perform miracles.
His comments come amid his ongoing challenge to religious leaders to demonstrate their claimed healing powers by treating critically ill patients in hospital intensive care units under independently verifiable conditions.
Gashumba has reportedly raised his offer to Shs500 million for any pastor or prophet willing to take up the challenge.
The challenge has attracted public debate about miracle claims, religious accountability and the alleged exploitation of believers, with several religious figures, including Pastor Robert Kayanja, reacting to the controversy.
