Pastor sued over Shs190 million debt

Tuesday April 9 2019

Kampala. A pastor, Mr Patrick Makumbi, of International Gospel Healing Centre has been sued by a money lending company for allegedly failing to pay a $51,000 loan (about Shs190m).
The suit is before the High Court Commercial Division.

The company, Patoz Capital Solution, sued Pastor Makumbi through its loans manager Adrine Kobusingye.

Man accuses Gospel Healing Centre Lweza head pastor of "stealing ...

In support to their case, Mr Kobusingye states that on February 23, 2018, Pastor Makumbi approached him at their offices on Nkrumah Road in Kampala requesting for a loan offer of about Shs190m.
“I told the defendant [Pastor Makumbi] that the company will charge him 0.8 per cent of the principal amount ($51000) which he agreed to pay within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the money,” Mr Kobusingye’s affidavit reads in part.

Mr Kobusingye says as security to guarantee payment of the loan with interest, Mr Makumbi submitted his land title and a car log book all registered in his names as reflected on his Ugandan national identity card.
He contends that Makumbi has since defaulted on payment of both the principal and the accrued interest to-date despite several reminders.

“The defendant reached an extent of avoiding my calls which prompted service of demand notice onto him which he also failed to comply with hence this suit,” Mr Kobusingye states.
Accrued interest
According to the agreement between Patoz Capital Solution and Pastor Makumbi, he was to repay the loan together with accrued interest and all other charges, costs and expenses on or before March 23, 2018.

It was also noted that the borrower has the right to prepay all or any part of the principal amount of this loan together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at anytime without payment penalty or premium of any kind

“In the event of default, the borrower shall pay to the lender all costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’/ lawyers’ fee,” the agreement reads in part.

How Bishop Patrick Makumbi uses fake testimonies, witchcraft to dupe followers

   
By Pastor Solomon Male / Opinion

 

On 18 Sept 2016 after featuring on Ssuubi FM Sunday program, Okutambula Kulaba then running from 08.00pm, I received a phone call from a lady who asked me to help out a man she had heard on radio crying for help.

From her brief, the man had featured in the media claiming to have been circumcised, cut on the arm and used by one of the pastors in Uganda whose names had been withheld to dupe people into believing that that pastor had great miracle-working power and to con them.

On 20 September 2016, I received another phone call from a male (preferring anonymity) who sought to meet me on the same matter before the end of day.

When we met, he played for me an audio recording of Mukasa Joseph Kato’s confession of how Bishop Patrick Makumbi of the International Healing Centre church, Lweza with the assistance of his wife Miria had not only circumcised and cut him on the arm with his wife Miria, but used him to hoodwink their followers and entire public into believing that he had been prayed for and delivered from misambwa spirits, witchcraft and cannibalism to which he had been dedicated and initiated in Mwanza, Tanzania when aged only five.

That to hoodwink followers and the entire public into believing Makumbi as a miracle maestro and feel need to sow into his anointing, Bishop Makumbi had promised him riches which included a car, house, an unspecified sum of money, marrying for him a wife and ensuring that he
had a comfortable life.

On his part, Kato would go and pretend to have run mad in his villages of Kalagala in Kiboga District and Bukwaya Island in Buvuma District and ensure he is taken into shrines where he would learn witch-doctoring tricks, then return to Lweza and masquerade a witchdoctor and cannibal whom Bishop Makumbi is inspired by God to deliver during the Sunday service.

That after successfully executing the fraud plan, Bishop Makumbi had taken him to feature with him in his media programs arranged for him by Divosh on Family Radio and UBC TV.

That in 2010, he had called in a Bukedde journalist who interviewed him from Makumbi’s church and featured him in the Bukedde Ku Ssande, 21 March 2010, page 24 story:

Mukama amponyezza emisambwa egyampongerwa kitange ku myaka ettaano.’

That it was failure on Makumbi’s part to honor his promises that prompted him to speak out, get help and expose the fraud.

Though not surprised to hear such a story, I wondered how so far people can dare to get wealth. I told him of the need for thorough investigations to test its authenticity lest it turned out to be a hoax.

He gave me his phone number  and I instantly called him for a brief of his story which lasted 1 hour and 9 minutes. I have the recording. He repeated what I had heard in the audio.

I asked him whether he was not fabricating a story just to tarnish Bishop Makumbi and he said what he was telling me was the truth.

When I told him of the need for me to investigate his story, he pledged to cooperate. Hence, my investigations which uncovered how Bishop Makumbi had, using kato and the media duped Ugandans to believe that he has great anointing and powers to work miracles.

On 22 Sept 2016, I met Kato for the first time and travelled with him to Kalagala, Kiboga where I interviewed him from

On 26 Sept 2016, I went to the New Vision library and for close to 8 hours, searched for the Bukedde Ku Ssande false story, saw it, paid for a copy and got it.

Then I embarked on an investigation to find out whether the story’s contents were true, or false as Kato had already confessed that the story was his and Bishop Makumbi’s concoction.

On 19 Nov 2016, I travelled with Bukedde reporter, Patrick Tumwesigye to Bukwaya Island, Buvuma District to investigate its contents and what Kato was saying now.

Our findings prove that indeed, Bishop Patrick Makumbi and Joseph Kato Mukasa alias Sentongo staged Kato’s2006 and Bukedde Ku Ssande 21 March 2010 confessions.

From testimonies got there, Joseph Kato Mukasa has never been a witchdoctor, nor ever tasted human flesh, nor been anywhere in Tanzania for witchcraft training. Nor did his father ever indulge in witchdoctoring.

Tragic is that his staged madness nearly cost his step-mother Christine Thambit’s life because she was accused of bewitching Kato.

In the Bukedde Ku Ssande story 21 March 2010, Kato cites Bishop Makumbi claiming that in the service was a witchdoctor who had gone to Entebbe area to bewitch whom God had convinced to go to his church, International Healing Centre, Lweza and get saved.

And when Kato responded, Makumbi not only prayed for him but took him to radio, Television and caused his featuring in Bukedde Ku Ssande 21 March 2010, close to 4 years since their staged miracle was done!

Though Kato religiously fulfilled his part of the deal, Makumbi defaulted which compelled Kato to expose the deal.

Sadly, when the Bishop Makumbi – Kato miracle faking deal got sour and Kato exposed the fraud, instead of remorsefulness, Bishop Makumbi went to court, opened High Court Civil Suit 663 of 2016 and obtained a
court order barring Kato from exposing more.

On Thursday 2 Feb 2017, 11.00AM High Court, Civil Division at Twed Tower  mediation case 352 of 2016 between the two failed and the main case was fixed for hearing on 14 Feb 2017. Kato insisted that the two had made a deal to con people.

That evening, after Kato’s being compromised, the two made another deal for Kato to claim that it is me, Pr Moses Solomon Male, Bishop David Livingstone Kiganda, Bishop Joshua Lwere and some media persons who had told him to falsify the 2006 miracle staging and allege that it had been a deal to con people.

On Sunday 5 Feb 2017, Kato featured in Makumbi’s church, International Healing Centre, Lweza claming that Bishop Makumbi had delivered him from witchcraft and that it was Pastor Moses Solomon Male, Bishop David Kiganda, Bishop Joshua Lwere and others who had engaged him to falsify the delievence and claim that it had been a concoction of the two to con the faithful.

That night, Makumbi’s lawyer, Nsenga also took him to ‘repent’ in the 77 DOGS at Rubaga Miracle Centre before Channel 44 Miracle TV Cameras and the so called confession was featured on Miracle TV.

Interesting at Rubaga Miracle Centre is that Kato said he had been a witchdoctor before going to Bishop Makumbi’s church. But when Pr Robert Kayanja insisted that he tells the truth, he said he had never been a witchdoctor; it was circumstances that had compelled him to claim so.


On where Pr Solomon Male, Bishop David Kiganda and Bishop Joshua Lwere had found him to convince him to accuse Bishop Makumbi, he said they had met in churches where he used to go testifying that he had been a witchdoctor and Bishop Makumbi had prayed for and
delivered him! How impossible it is to sustain lies?

I have more on video and audio to prove that Bishop Makumbi and Kato made a deal to hoodwink followers and the entire public.

#NTVInvestigates expose: Woman accusing pastor of raping, impregnating and infecting teenage daughter with HIV sent to prison

 
 
By Watchdog reporter
The woman, who accused one of the Pentecostal pastors of allegedly defiling her daughter in the NTV expose a couple of days ago, has been sent to Kigo prison.

Ms Peace Nanangwe who appeared in NTV Investigates news feature which exposed Pentecostal pastors as conmen, was sent to Kigo prison by Grade 1 magistrate Hope Bagyenda of Kajansi, Kitende court. Her daughter, a minor who she said was raped, infected with HIV and impregnated before she was forced to carry out an abortion, was sent to a remand home in Naguru.

The bitter woman told NTV journalist Emmanuel Mutaizibwa that Bishop Patrick Makumbi of Gospel Healing Centre has asked her to help the girl with her education but after the girl had an abortion which almost took her life, they were shocked to hear from the girl that the pastor had made her pregnant.

 Emmanuel Mutaizibwa has posted on his Page saying, “Justice is meant to be blind and impartial. Why can’t we come to the rescue of this helpless woman and daughter? Why do we allow criminal rackets to thrive? I spent most of the afternoon with Bart Kakooza, a colleague I did the film with at the Ethics ministry. Canon Mwesigye who is a Director of Religious Affairs was quite helpful. I spoke to the Ethics minister Lokodo who has also promised to help. If this woman made up the claims, why can’t she be probed and it’s proven? These scorched-earth tactics and impunity against the vulnerable by those who purport to occupy the hallowed pulpits and are ‘highly connected’ should end!”

While, Bart Kakooza, a film journalist who put together some of the pieces of the fake preachers, said, “New development. The NTV piece I put together with NTV about fake pastors is negatively gathering dust. The woman who talked to us has been arrested together with her daughter who was defiled by a pastor. Grade 1 magistrate Hope Bagyenda Kajansi, Kitende court ordered for her arrest and detention at Kigo prison. Her daughter was remanded at Naguru remand home. This is very sad. I myself has been verbally attacked by one self styled pastor who openly confronted me at Serena concierge. It is sad. This woman’s daughter was defiled, made pregnant by the pastor, forced to undergo crude abortion which made her womb rot! She almost lost her life! Where is our so called reformed judicially? Can somebody out there help?
