Personally, I Like Pastor Kayanja, I Will Attend One of His Services One Day — Gen Muhoozi Speaks Out as Frank Gashumba Targets Fake Pastors
Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has publicly expressed his admiration for renowned Ugandan preacher Pastor Robert Kayanja, revealing that he hopes to attend one of the pastor’s church services in the future. His remarks have attracted attention amid a growing public debate over the conduct of religious leaders, following criticism by social commentator Frank Gashumba against pastors he considers fake.
Muhoozi, the Chief of Defence Forces of the Uganda People's Defence Forces, reportedly stated that he personally likes Kayanja and intends to visit one of his services someday. The statement has sparked interest among members of the public, particularly as discussions about religious leadership, credibility and accountability continue to generate debate across Uganda.
Pastor Kayanja is the founder of Rubaga Miracle Centre Cathedral, one of Uganda’s prominent Christian ministries. Over the years, he has established a significant presence in the country's religious community through preaching, prayer services and other church activities that attract large numbers of worshippers seeking spiritual guidance.
Muhoozi's expression of admiration comes against the backdrop of comments by Gashumba, who has criticised some religious leaders over practices he believes undermine the credibility of the church. His remarks have contributed to a wider conversation about the responsibilities of pastors and the standards expected of individuals who use their positions to influence believers.
The debate has also highlighted the different opinions Ugandans hold regarding religious accountability. While some people believe pastors should face scrutiny whenever questions arise about their conduct, others maintain that criticism must be supported by credible evidence and should not be used to discredit religious institutions or genuine spiritual leaders.
Kayanja's name has consequently featured in conversations about the influence of prominent preachers and their relationship with public figures. However, Muhoozi's reported praise should be understood as an expression of personal admiration rather than an endorsement or rejection of every claim being made about other pastors in the country.
Meanwhile, Gashumba's criticism has continued to fuel discussions on social media, with Ugandans expressing different views about fake pastors, religious exploitation and the importance of protecting believers from questionable practices. The debate has renewed calls from some members of the public for greater transparency and responsible leadership within religious institutions.
For now, Muhoozi's reported intention to attend one of Kayanja's services has added an interesting twist to the ongoing discussion. Whether he will eventually visit Rubaga Miracle Centre Cathedral remains to be seen, but his statement has brought further attention to the wider debate about faith, public influence and accountability among Uganda's religious leaders.
