Pastor Bugingo’s Shs70b Church is the greatest religious fraud in Uganda
However,
ever since the campaign kicked off, a number of Ugandans on social
media have come out to criticize Bugingo for trying to drain his poor
followers of their hard earned money with such an extravagant venture.
Early this month, Pastor Aloysius Bugingo kicked off a fundraising
campaign to raise over Shs70 billion to put up a state of the art Church
for his House of Prayer Ministries International (HPMI).
While
on his Salt Radio, the man of God said, ““All believers should utilize
this chance of constructing a house for God. It doesn’t matter whether
you’re a born again or not, just contribute for the sake of God,”
He further said the Church will sit on the piece of land in Makerere Kikoni which he bought at Shs7.5 billion a few years ago.
When
completed, the stadium-like Church will be the first of a kind in
Uganda and it will have guest rooms, restaurant and a swimming pool
among others. It will also house his Salt Media Group that consists of
Salt TV and radio.
However, ever since the campaign kicked off, a
number of Ugandans on social media have come out to criticize Bugingo
for trying to drain his poor followers of their hard earned money with
such an extravagant venture.

all social media platforms. God can’t bless you and refuse to contribute
because of criticism from noise makers. We will contribute towards the
