Rev. Canon Aaron Mwesigye, the Director for Religious Affairs in the Office of the president has told Ugandans to stop referring the embattled head of House of Prayers Ministries, Aloysius Bujingo as a pastor.

“It’s very unfortunate for a pastor to behave the way Bujingo does. His behavior demeans the image of pastors in public. He is damaging the reputation of fellow pastors in this country. If you go in public and expose your weakness or sickness, you are either mentally perturbed or someone that should not be regarded as a pastor. People who are calling him a pastor should disregard it and disown him,” he said.
