Bugingo and Teddy in fresh woes
Early last week, Teddy Naluswa, ex-wife to House of Prayer Ministries lead pastor Aloysious Bugingo came out and accused the pastor of refusing to pay school fees for his children. However, Pastor Bugingo decided to hold a press conference at his offices in Mengo where he gave his account on the matter.
Bugingo refuted the claims saying they are only intended to tarnish his image. He said it would be stupid of him to fail to fulfil his mandate of looking after his children at whatever cost. According to Bugingo, he has regularly paid all the school dues of his children but it is only in this new term where he has not yet cleared.
He further revealed that for the last four years since he decided to leave their marital home in Kitende, he sends Shs800000 per week to cater for the home bills.
