Summon letter from Tooro Kingdom to Pastor Ogola
Tooro
Kingdom has summoned pastor Ogola Churchill of Zoe Celebrations Ministries,
Fort Portal, accusing him of humiliating and disrespect towards the head of
Babiito Royal Clan.
According
to a letter dated 10th January and signed off by the Tooro Kingdom Prime
Minister, Stephen Kiyingi, the Kingdom noted that at the funeral services of re-known
Tooro Artist Moses Kigambo last week, reports and social media footage captured
Pastor Ogola insulting Omusuga Charles Kamurasi, switching off the microphone
while he delivered King Oyo’s message during the service.
Kigambo
whose death sparked controversies in Tooro and subsequently led to the
interdiction of Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital Director Dr. Alex Adaku, was a member of Ogola’s church.
According to the letter, the pastor is also
accused of using what they called sharp words to humiliate Kamurasi in front of
attendees and preventing him from speaking.
The
Kingdom says such actions were not only humiliating Kamurasi but also the people
of Tooro where he play a key role as Oyo’s paternal uncle and clan head.
“As Babiito clan head, Omujwera Musunga was disrespected; you are required to appear before the committee for further explanation,” read the letter, and Ogola is expected to appear before the Kingdom’s Ethics and Cultural Committee next week Wednesday.
