Bobi Mobilised People to Speak ill About me in my Constituency – Mpuuga

The national coordinator of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Mathias Mpuuga has accused Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, the president of the National Unity Platform (NUP), of rallying individuals to speak poorly of him.

Mpuuga, a former Leader of the Opposition (LoP), alleges that Kyagulanyi organized people for a month to disparage him in his constituency of Nyendo-Mukungwe municipality.

He made the remarks while speaking to NBS Television on Wednesday.

“The Hon. Bobi Wine all due respect to him, mobilised people for a month to go to my constituency to speak ill about me.” Mpuuga said.

He questioned why Kyagulanyi did not use the same effort to hold a rally against the Electoral Commission.

Mpuuga, who claims to have restrained himself from discussing certain matters and individuals, further accused his former party, NUP, of individually contacting MPs to portray him as a bad person.

“I have constrained myself a lot. If I spoke about certain things and individuals, you would be shocked. You would not know for example, how NUP would call MPs, one by one to educate them on how Mpuuga is a bad man.” Mpuuga said.

Mpuuga’s relationship with NUP soured last year after the party accused him of corruption for receiving a controversial Shs500 million as a “service award.”

This issue stemmed from a meeting held by the Parliamentary Commission on May 6, 2022, where Mpuuga and three other parliamentary commissioners reportedly divided a total of Shs1.7 billion among themselves as a service award, despite having served for less than a year.

Mpuuga allegedly received Shs500 million, while the other three commissioners each received Shs400 million.

This service award, which dominated headlines for months, led NUP leader Kyagulanyi to demand that Mpuuga apologize and resign from his position as Leader of the Opposition.

Since then, Mpuuga and Kyagulanyi have been at odds, with Mpuuga establishing his own civic organization, the DA, which many believe is aimed at countering NUP

Benny Hinn’s Uganda Crusade Draws Over 200,000 As Claims of Miraculous Healings Emerge

Renowned televangelist Pastor Benny Hinn received a rapturous welcome in Uganda as tens of thousands flocked to witness what many have described as a spiritual awakening.

The founder of the World Healing Center Church is currently on a healing crusade in Kampala, hosted by Pastor Robert Kayanja of the Miracle Centre Cathedral.

Day one of the crusade saw an estimated crowd of over 200,000 people gathered in anticipation of divine miracles. In a message shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Hinn expressed joy and awe at the massive turnout and the spiritual energy of the night.

“Precious people, something extraordinary is happening in Uganda. Over 200,000 souls gathered on Night 1 of our Healing Crusade in Uganda! 60,000 lined up at 8AM for a 7PM service. 10,000 pastors stood in unity. And already, 14 nations are represented,” Hinn wrote.

The preacher went on to claim that the power of God was so strong that numerous people experienced supernatural healings. Among the alleged miracles were the disappearance of throat cancer, the restoration of blind vision, and relief from chronic pain.

“The Power of God came down like a mighty river. Throat cancer disappeared. Blind eyes were healed. Chronic pain vanished. This is the move we’ve prayed for… and it’s only just begun,” he added.

The roads leading to the crusade venue were choked with heavy traffic and large crowds on foot, many bringing along loved ones battling various illnesses. The atmosphere was charged with hope, emotion, and spiritual fervor as worshippers sang, prayed, and waited for what they believed could be their miracle moment.

One particularly emotional moment occurred when Pastor Jessica Kayanja, wife to the host pastor, reportedly fell under the “power of the Holy Spirit” after being prayed for by Hinn, prompting cheers and spiritual outpourings from the audience.

However, the crusade has not been without its critics. Some Ugandans online questioned the authenticity of the healing claims, suggesting that such miracles, if genuine, should be demonstrated in medical settings like Mulago Hospital, where countless patients suffer without such divine intervention.

Despite the doubts, the event marks one of the largest religious gatherings Uganda has seen in recent years, and many faithful remain hopeful that this crusade will continue to bring spiritual and physical transformation to those in need.
