Controversy
Pastor Mondo Mugisha and others in December 2020 were arrested and aligned at Buganda Road Magistrate Court over alleged involvement in a scam that saw more than 4.5 billion shillings defrauded from unsuspecting Ugandans.
According to the prosecution led by Elizabeth Nandala, the money was collected from parents in places of Bombo, Luweero and Kampala between 2014 and 2020.
It was reported that the group promised the pastors trips abroad, meeting with President Museveni and beneficiary projects from Operation Wealth Creation.
Trouble for the accused started after their victims waited to benefit from the projects promised to them but in vain. When they realized that the promises were not maturing, they petitioned the State House Anti-Corruption Unit to investigate them.
It was alleged that Kusasira and Mugisha who spent a night at Wandegeya Police Station had obtained money claiming that they are well connected to President Museveni and his brother General Salim Saleh.
Following the matter, Pastor Franklin Mondo Mugisha revealed that he has been receiving calls from different people telling him that his name was put in the alleged Shs4bn fraud because he is friends with National Unity Platform (NUP) leader, Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine.
“I saw Hon Kyagulanyi when he was 11 years at Brain Trust Academy, I prayed for him and God revealed to me that he will one time be a leader but God didn’t specify and I think Kyagulanyi has been a leader of his constituency. Kyagulanyi also speaks with people in the government and I believe he has friends everywhere. He is my friend also but politically I support President Museveni,” Mondo said.
“However, I want to tell our leaders that I don’t have any issue with NRM if there is anything wrong I did, when I welcomed Kyagulanyi at the platform while at the funeral of Pr. Yiga, please I ask for forgiveness, I confess that I will never welcome Kyagulanyi anywhere again. Also, they should know that I’m not the one who invited him at the funeral; Kyagulanyi came like any common man. People have been calling telling me that I’m in all this because of Kyagulanyi,” he said.
According to Pastor Mondo Mugisha, he cannot hate Bobi Wine because he is a pastor who must love everyone regardless of their status.
“If this is why I’m being tortured, I plead to the leaders to forgive me. Even if they don’t want me to meet Kyagulanyi I will respect their decision.”
Mondo Mugisha claims his fate was engineered by a mafia group who he did not reveal.
In 2017, Mondo Mugisha was involved in a child neglect case filed by Sarah Naigaga who alleged that she was a mother of Mondo’s six years child. However, the former army officer says the story is untrue intended to tarnish his reputation.
