Shady Pastors, here is what to do.

As you read stories about some born again pastors you may begin questioning yourself whether they are good shepherds of the flock.
In Uganda, one of the best business one can do is to begin a born again church.
Churches, which once were respected as sanctified places of worship are now, used for all sorts of abuse, which includes sodomy, rape, coning followers’ of their money and even shocking some with electricity. Ugandans should be careful with the mushrooming pastors in the country because many of them are just crooks whose plan is to rob the unsuspecting poor.

I can't imagine a Ugandan who spends a whole day working as a wheel- barrow pusher, only to get money and hand it over to his pastor. This is daylight robbery! I think good pastors are not supposed to demand money to help people who need their services.

What angers me is that pastors pretend to follow Jesus' example yet they do the reverse.

Jesus healed the sick without asking for money and told his disciples to do the same, if we are to take pastors as today’s disciples, we must ask, “What are they doing?’ Church leaders should borrow a leaf from the life of Christ, who drove the moneychangers from the temple.

Unlike Catholics and Protestants, born again pastors lack a central regulating body to control their work.
If a Catholics priest is found guilty of such crimes is excommunicated, we can recall what happened to Bishop Emanuel Miyingo.
I think lack of a central body to regulate the activities of born again pastors tarnishes the image of even the good pastors who are serving God diligently.
We should all know that Jesus Christ, warned us about the rise of "false Christ's." He said they "would deceive many, performing miracles in my name". He, however, gave all of us a tip, through which we could identify such 'fake prophets’.
He said, " Identify them by their fruits" (i.e. their actions and character). In their fledgling ministry, the early Apostles spent sizeable time battling fakes.
Now they are back. Who can help us fight them?First of all, its every body's responsibility, but I think the first responsibly lies in the hands of National Council for Born Again churches. Let it come out with codes of conduct, have every pastor register and be made aware consequences for misconduct.
Next, the DPP should institute charges a against some pastors, for example, Pastor Obiri of 'We are one with Christ Ministries’ who imported an electric gadget to shock unsuspecting church-goers into believing that they are experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit.
He could be charged with disturbing religious assemblies, stupefying in order to commit a misdemeanor, or even assault depending on the facts.The gadget, which can be worn like a corset on the body or under the sole of a shoe, can generate up to 12 volts, enough current to "pleasantly" shock to the ground dozens of people at a time.
Others like Kanyanja whose house was usd by smugglers of wine should be investigated.
Paster Kitaka who sodomized his follower should face the law too.

In 2 Peter 2:1, Peter also echoed the warnings of Jesus about fake "men of God." He said: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you..."

The apostles warned that these false teachers had never renounced the "hidden things of dishonesty, craftiness" and "handling the word of God deceitfully.

"It is normal for some Christian to be sad and disillusioned when they discover that their preachers and spiritual leaders are not living up to expected standards.

However, it is also important to know that God always has some individuals who will not betray

His word at the altar of materialism and financial gain.

Apparently, fake men of God will only continue to arise.

Therefore, my humble appeal to fellow Christians is that they must be equipped with knowledge, which will help them have an insight into these fakes and they would be able to discern - and avoid them.

Inside the stinking Makerere University Halls of Residence.

Recently I went with my friend Eddie to cover a news story at UPC’s Uganda House. While inside,we branched off for a short call, I found out that the whole building was in a mess,Broken water Pipes, everywhere. I guess if Mama Miria is not serious floods of Urine will soon chase her from office.
However this experience was not new to me, back at Makerere University we are faced with a more serious crisis than that I saw at Uganda House.
Most Halls at the university are in a poor state, they face insufficient water supply, electricity breakdown, poor hygiene, and most of them are in a state of decay and require complete renovation.
Although I hail from a cleaner Livingstone Hall,The likes of Nsibirwa, Nkrumah,Lumumba, Mary Stuart,Complex and UH just needs your prayers .When we were told that we are to leave Livingstone for Nsibirwa during recess, we started cursing our selves coz we couldn't imagine staying in stinking Nsibirwa for the entire eight weeks.
I think Nsibirwa takes a Gold medal as a most smelling hall at campus, it can set records and break them still.Its lavatories are flooded with water, faces are always hanging on dry bowels because of constant water cut offs, as a solution to the filthy nature of their toilets, some students of Nsibirwa have decided not to use their toilets and go to other halls or nearby hostels.
Stepping into Insibirwa Toilets! Oh my God. I feel devastated to write this because my minds are so irritating, recalling packed to brim bowels of faces floating in these toilets.
I can't entirely blame the administration though it bears the greatest blame.Once your inside Nsibirwa toilets, You may wish you were born illiterate not to read obscene words written everywhere on the wall.The so called 'states men' can abuse the President,their own guild, Vice Chancellor, Chancellor and even some people outside Uganda.Yes, they have freedom of speech but this should be responsibly exercised.
They can write how Kenya has the Most ugly first Lady in the world,how kenyan chics are menisers,how westerners are tribalists, who was raped in whose room, how she was screaming and other stupid stuff I can't even blog about.
Inside their messes, is a real mess, almost all Hall's messes smell beans and posho, with food droplets everywhere on table. You may think Kindergartens eat from here.Cleaners are always busy pursuing their bachelor of arts in gossiping while cooks are doing their degree of food science in eating.
Can this situation be reversed? Yes, but it should be through privatizing these halls .Serious management of these halls can only be done by a private investor.Indirectly the government is telling us it has failed to properly manage these halls.
Currently private students pay shillings 340,000 per semester for food and accommodation to stay inside the University but they don’t get the services which they pay for as their money is used to cater for the budget of the government students as well.
I can't imagine finishing my recess and I get away from such stuff.

Is Museveni serious on corruption?

A lot have been said about President Yoweri Museven and his corrupt government, the most recent being the headline in the New Vision where the President said “I Won't Tolerate Corruption”
I have never been convinced that the President is committed to fighting corruption in Uganda.

First of all a lot of corrupt NRM Cadres have been left free after being implicated in corruption scandals because they support the ruling government or they are close associates of President Yoweri Museven.
We should recall the sale of UCB.It was because of NRM’s corruption which led to the bankruptcy of the Country's largest government-owned Commercial Bank . UCB controlled over 80% of the commercial banking market but NRM"s ruling clique gave themselves fraudulent loans worth over 62 billion shillings which they have classified as "delinquent loans.
Certain evils in government like sectarianism, corruption and outright thievery are the cause of Uganda's economic mismanagement. This is the gov’t where appointments to high political and corporate positions are mostly based on tribal origin. Fraudulent loans from UCB were granted exclusively to Tutsis and Himas in order to boost their economic dominance over others. Briefcase and paper companies were concocted and flooded Kampala through which millions were borrowed on the basis of a person's ethnicity and signature. The bankruptcy of UCB has very serious adverse repercussions for Uganda's economy.
The problem with many Ugandans is that they forget easily. How could you forget a
Bassajjabalaba-style bail out from President Museveni.Ask your self what has been done after the recommendations of Justice Ssebutinde’s Report into the junk helicopters which couldn’t even fly from Entebbe to Kampala and yet they were bought to fight Kony in Northern Uganda?. What of the current crisis of supplying fake seeds and pangas to the IDPS? What of the GAVI funds. Don’t also forget the Global Fund.
Name them…
The Prosecution of the three Ministers should not excite any one, these guys are used as baits or protective the real corrupt people are in top leadership. In any case where have you ever seen someone going to court with a gang of supporters chanting in support of that fugitive? If the fight against corruption is to be taken serious then Salem Sale and Kahinda Otafiire should be in prison for buying fake helicopters and plundering Congo respectivelty.

I am forced to believe that the arrest of three former health ministers was precipitated by pressure from the British government. Actually the British government was considering changing CHOGM citing political intolerance and embezzlement of public funds with impunity by government top officials. It also cited the misappropriation of donor money from the Global Fund to fight HIV/Aids, TB and malaria and the funds meant for immunization where the culprits had not been prosecuted.
Wait after CHOGM we shall go back to our old ways..
