Police have summoned House of Prayer Ministries International pastor, Aloysius Bugingo, after he apologised to his to his wife Teddy yesterday following comments that he endured their marriage even when she suffered a haemorrhage problem for 10 years.
Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, Mr Patrick Onyango on Monday told journalists that the Kampala Metropolitan police commander, Moses Kafeero, had invited Pastor Bugingo to appear at Police because his comments had sparked and incited violence among activists who had taken to the streets to protest.

“KMP commander Moses Kafeero said he telephoned Pastor Bugingo inviting him here [police station] to talk about his issue and see how they can solve this,” Mr Onyango said.
He was addressing journalists on what transpired in a meeting between police officers and rights activists following their petition against the conduct of Pastor Bugingo.

Earlier, police arrested nine people protesting against comments made by Pastor Bugingo.

The rights activists led by musician Sophie Gombya had converged at Bat Valley Primary School to work on their petition and also mobilise funds to buy cotton wool and deliver it to the pastor.
Mr Onyango said in the meeting, they agreed with the activists on what they need to do if they want their grievances addressed.
“If they want to protest, then they should write to us (police) and we will guide them on how to do so in a manner that doesn’t violate the law,” Mr Onyango added.

In their petition to police, the activists said Pastor Bugingo should be restrained from talking about his marital woes in the public.
Mr Onyango said police promised to write a letter to Pastor Bugingo to stop talking, writing or uttering words that incite the public.

Bugingo finally apologised to his wife and women in general after condemnation from the public for revealing his wife’s sickness she suffered .

Bugingo who was addressing the congregation at his church in Makerere Kikoni said he respects women despite social media condemnation and that his church comporises 70 percent women.

However, he denied reports that he had been arrested by security agencies after defaming his wife of 29 years who he left to court Suzan Makula, who he intends to marry, despite not divorcing Teddy.

Meanwhile the campaign to buy Bugingo sanitary pads was on today. Oganisers say they want to compensate Bugingo for the ones he bought when his wife was suffering from Fistula.

It’s been quite some good time since ‘Pastor’ Bugingo and his family started throwing their dirty linen but the latest one last week where he said he had endured his wife as she suffered from Fistula received public condemnation from both the women and men.

Bagingo said he was perturbed by the fact that family affairs have become issues of public concern. He said like any other religious leader Satan was fighting him in all ways and asked his church members to pray for him.

On Friday, after Bujjingo revealing that the wife suffered from Fistula, the former leader of opposition and Kasese Woman MP Winnie Kizza said: “This morning, my thoughts are with Mrs. Teddy Bugingo; a woman, mother and wife.

The publicly made attacks against her over matters any reasonable person considers private are not only ugly but disrespectful of a woman, a mother, and a wife. It’s lowest of the lows for anybody to treat a mother of his children with disrespect, however complex the situation may be. I applaud Mrs. Teddy for not allowing provocation. She has not fought back; a conduct that explains love and respect for the father of her children, however hostile the environment may be. She is not dumb but silent, hoping that the father of her children grows. My message to Mrs. Teddy Bugingo is prayer. There’s nothing strong like a woman, mother and wife that prays.”

“Pastor Bujingo, pretending being a pastor and healing other women why didn’t you heal your bleeding wife??? Unless you are a conman,” a critic said.

Another one said: “Hypocrisy is when Bugingo asks; “why has my family affair become a national issue?” Someone remind him that he is the one who blew it to national magnitude by choosing to make it a center of his preaching…#namammonde. Hope next time he will bury his ‘arrivalism’ and lead by example! Oba Ka degree keyafunye kekamuwaga!!???

Another one said Bugingo is one of those pastors misleading the faithful. “I am not being unfair or rude at anyone but some preachers are misleading their (lost sheep) as they normally refer them to because the issue of being so arrogant and disrespectful of a woman and a wife has really touched me the way it touched me and those who are born by women know how it feels if it was your mother that this pastor was bad mouthing. In my final submission on this, I trust that my evangelical Christian brothers and sisters, who love their man of God so much that they keep, cheering him and clapping whenever he abuses his family, kneel down and repent,” says Micheal Woira, a churchgoer.

Reacting to Bugingo’s revelation that he only had sex with Teddy 100 times, a critic said: “Am still wondering whether Pastor Bujjingo is a Christian, coz he said he had sex less than 100 times in 29 years of marriage with his ex-wife. According to my calculation I realised that he has been having sex 3 times a year. How possible is it ‘ujone’, yet to other men that can be for a single night or few hrs. Man of God looks for another excuse.”

Another critic added: “Instead of trying to get even with Pastor Aloysius Bugingo by taking cotton and pads to him on July 20, why don’t advocates of such a cause instead take them to Teddy Naluswa and make her the lead advocate for a “Never Again” campaign against fistula.”

He said that Teddy can then distribute those items to hospitals like Mulago, Kiruddu, Nsambya, etc, and spread the campaign nationwide that Never Again will other women go through the ordeal she has gone through because of fistula.

“As the national ambassador of such a campaign, Teddy can be helped to set up an organisation through which she can touch the lives of many similarly afflicted women. With the support of everyone who feels for her now, Teddy can grow that organisation into a national and East African movement,” he said.

Not only will she be contributing to the cause on a national and regional stage, it will also help to take her mind off what must be a traumatising break up ordeal that she is going through right now. More importantly, it takes the public attention away from Bugingo and his shenanigans, and turns the spotlight onto Teddy and what would be a good cause.

Others have lambasted President Yoweri Museveni’s former press secretary Tamale Mirundi who defended Bugingo after revealing the sickness of his wife.

“Tamale I disagree with you today! Bujjingo is just an arrogant infidel. Let him carry his cross! I have never heard you Mirundi humiliating your wife; even when she crossed over to DP you kept quiet! Bujjingo is a bad man,” a critic said.

“Tamale you are confused… why does he (Bugingo) speak his bedroom issues to public ashaming his wife and all of us women including his mother and sisters?” asks a one Jacline Wakooli.

Some think Teddy should contest for Member of Parliament to reinvent herself after mistreatment from Bugingo. “How many agree with me that Teddy Nnaluswa should stand for Women MP – Kampala or Busiro North/South Constituency? It is her only opportunity to move a step up towards leveling the ground for a Greator Come Back!” Dennis Ssemugenyi says.

“When pastor Bugingo burnt Bible you thought everything was over. Now he is here showing his new wife to the world and making the old wife useless to the world. Don’t you think by the end of this year he will be doing something very bad to his congregation?” asks another Ugandan.
