WHAT NEXT: Hamis Kiggundu and his lawyer Muwema

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA 

WHAT we predicted in all our stories about Kabaka’s Kigo Land, yesterday September 6, 2022 came to pass! Government agreed with His Majesty the Kabaka of Buganda and cancelled Hamis Kiggundu’s Titles he had fraudently acquired on Kabaka’s land without the knowledge of the Land Lord. Thanks to The Commissioner Land Registration, Kabaka’s legal team and Buganda Land Board (BLB), an organisation set up by Kabaka to manage Kingdom land, for the job well done.
Buganda Kingdom petitioned the Commissioner Land Registration to cancel Kiggundu’s titles accusing him of overlapping Kabaka’s land with freehold titles.
According to a  judgment signed by Mugaino Baker yesterday, Commissioner Land Registration ordered the immediate cancellation of Kiggundu’s titles citing an overlap on Kabaka’s titles, fraudulent procedures of allocating land by Wakiso district and the fact that the disputed land is a wetland.
This land is situated between Serena-Kigo and Mirembe Villas land, off Munyonyo Spur Road, and extends inwards sharing common boundaries with Serena-Kigo, Mirembe Villas, and the Lake. Usable acreage is 78.086 acres whereas 15.236 acres incorporate access roads.
“By the powers conferred upon me under S.91 of the Land Act, having found that the certificate of titles comprised in Kyadondo Block 273 plots 23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977 subdivided from plot 23720 were illegally issued, I hereby order that the same be cancelled and expunged from the register book forthwith.” Reads the judgement.
The Commissioner’s decision settles the longstanding battle between Hamis Kiggundu and the Kabaka of Buganda over ownership of land in Kigo measuring 140 acres.
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA first broke this story earlier this year when Buganda kingdom stopped activities by Kiggundu where he wanted to construct a road between Mirembe Villas and Serena Hotel Kigo to gain access to what he calledd his land.
Mengo insisted that the land claimed by Kiggundu is Kabaka’s and all titles being peddled were acquired fraudulently. 
The matter was then referred to the Commissioner Land Registration to cancel the titles thereon.
Following  a cancellation hearing, the commissioner ordered a joint boundary opening exercise to ascertain the true ownership of this land conducted by surveyors from both parties.
“According to both majority and minority reports availed to the office of the commissioner land registration, it is deduced by both reports that there is an encroachment by the freehold titles on the Mailo titles. Both reports agree that plots 23974, 23975, 23976 and 23977 owned  by Kiham entreprises ltd encroach onto the Mailo Titles in plots 38, 87,99 and 110 owned by the Kabaka of Buganda,” reads the Commissioner’s judgment. 
He adds, “Therefore, it is questionable how a professional survey could have been undertaken to create on overlay on an already existing title. Without any doubt, such survey process was flawed and an illegality that resulted in double titling.”
The Commissioner Land Registration therefore said, “My finding that the freehold titles owned by Kiham Entreprises Ltd overlap the Mailo Titles owned by Kabaka of Buganda, which is illegal.”
The judgment further points out that the said land is a wetland given that it is found in the lake reserve area.
“It is therefore my finding that even if the land was public land, Wakiso District Land Board illegally gave out in grant of freehold to Kiham Enterprise subject land when the same is a wetland. It was therefore illegal for Wakiso Ministry Zonal Office to title land which was a wetland on recommendation of the land board.” Reads the judgement in detail.
There was also a contention on the procedure followed in the allocation of the said land, with Kabaka’s lawyers saying the area land committee used does not have jurisdiction over the said land.
“It is, therefore, my finding that the applications for grant of freehold having been handled by Kajjansi Town Council yet the land falls under Makindye Ssaabagabo Area Land Committee was illegal and affects the root of the title. The titles should therefore be cancelled having been flouted in the procedure of their allocation.” Said The Commissioner Land Registration.

WHEN KABAKA’S LAWYERS LEFT KIGGUNDU SWEATING PLASMA @ COMMISSIONER’S OFFICE
Lawyers from two popular legal firms of Ms. K&K Advocates (Kiwanuka & Karugire Advocates) and Ms. S & L Advocates (Sebalu and Lule Advocates) acting on instructions of Buganda Kingdom first advised businessman Hamis Kiggundu to conceed cancellation of these fake titles and make an apology to His Majesty The Kabaka of Buganda, his officials and to all the people of Buganda for the plot he had crafted to grab Kabaka’s land or he will be made to pay for his sins! Kiggundu remained adamant!
This was during a tribunal hearing at the Commissioner Land Registration officer in Kampala a few weeks ago.
Kiggundu was asserting that he is the rightful owner of the land and that he legally obtained it from the Wakiso district Land Board although Wakiso Land Board disowns him saying signatures were forged.
According to an insider at the office of the Commissioner Land Registration, Kabaka’s lawyers arrived at the tribunal in time for hearing, ready to expose Hamis Kiggundu who they insist faked titles on Kabaka’s Kigo land.
They petitioned for the cancellation of these fake titles so that Ham doesn’t hoodwink other people and sell them this land which doesn’t exist.
Hamis who a few days ago went to Mengo and confessed before cameras how he gave up on Kabaka’s land, shockingly ate his vomit when he changed his mind and protested cancellation of the fake titles. 
Commissioner Land Registration tribunal summoned the two parties to listen to them before pronouncing himself on the cancellation application.
Minutes later, after the arrival of Kabaka’s lawyers, Hamis Kiggundu entered with his front man Edward Nakibinge with whom they claim ownership of Kigo land through Kiham Enterprises Ltd. 
Kiggundu who looked frustrated because of the absence of his lawyer Muwema, was seen moving up and down, making endless calls to someone whom our sources believe was his lawyer Fred Muwema of Muwema & Co. Advocates.
Later, counsel Muwema arrived and on his arrival, he asked tribunal for adjournment to grant him more time to study his client’s titles. 
“We are asking for a two weeks’ adjournment…” pleaded Kiggundu’s lawyer Muwema, to which Kabaka’s lawyer objected saying that was too much time. “There is nothing much Muwema was studying, the fact is Hamis Kiggundu’s land titles are fake, they should just be cancelled, nothing much.” Said Kabaka’s lawyers. Tribunal gave Muwema only one week.
After adjournment, Hamis Kiggundu approached Kabaka’s lawyers and asked them why they are tainting his name before Kabaka’s subjects yet he is a loyal subject.
In his response, one of the lawyers told Kiggundu, “You are just making false allegations. None of us has ever gone to media houses to spit fire against you like you do against Buganda Land Board officials. We have your recordings to the media blackmailing some BLB officials and labelling them as fraudsters. By the way, after this land matter, we have other instructions to sue you over your defamatory statements against Kabaka’s officials.”
In fact while addressing media a few days ago, Hamis Kiggundu named BLB officials he wanted Katikkiro Mayiga to investigate for what he termed as being fraudster. 
These officials said Kiggundu is targeting them because they blocked his deal to grab over 140 acres of Kabaka’s Kigo land. 

BOUNDARY OPENING
Hamis Kiggundu first requested for boundary opening to ascertain his freehold land from Kabaka’s mailo land to which Kabaka’s lawyers said they had no objections. 
For starters, boundary opening is a method for determining the exact borders of a piece of property. It mainly focuses on the definition of the corners of a plot. 
In a letter dated May 24, Mr. Henry Opio Ogenyi the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development
said there were overlaps between Kyadondo Block 273, Plot 38 (Mailo Title) and Kyadondo Block 273, Plots (23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977). 
The Ministry called for a boundary opening exercise to determine the exact borders of the 140-acres of land in Kigo which Hamis Kiggundu claims. 
In a letter to CEO Buganda Land Board, Mr. Ogenyi said, “There is a need for boundary opening of plots 23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977 in relation plot 38, all Kyandondo block 273.” 
Kiggundu had also proposed that a joint boundary opening exercise of both the freehold land titles comprised of Kyadondo Block 273 Plots 23974, 23975, 23976, 23977 and the Kabaka’s Private Mailo land comprised of Kyadondo Block 273 Plots 87, 99,110 be carried out to seek clarifications and ascertain the true location of both properties and as a way of confirming that the two properties are separate, do not overlap into one another.

KABAKA’S LAWYERS PUT TOUGH TERM
Kabaka’s lawyers said, “We also want boundary opening, however, land boundary is opened on two genuine titles but Kiham’s titles are disputed, they are fake. Let’s first put Hamis Kiggundu’s titles on a test of legality.”
“First question/procedure which Mr. Kiggundu must address, is the authenticity of his titles. How did he get them? Officials of Wakiso Land Board say their signatures were forged, and you call that a genuine title?” Asked Kabaka’s lawyers.
Secondly they asked Kiggundu to explain how Kajjansi Town Coucil land committee sanctioned him to get this land yet the disputed Kabaka’s Kigo land is in Makindye Ssaabagabo Municipality. 
“Don’t you think may be your land is somewhere else not in Kigo as you allege?” Lawyers asked.
Kabaka’s lawyers said, the whole Country was mapped, if Hamis says his land is in the lake area, which is public land,
“Public land comes from crown land. Crown land was crown grant. We are asking Kiggundu for his crown grant number if he is talking about owning public land.” Asked Kabaka’s lawyers, and Ham had no answers. No wonder, he lost the battle!

When Bishop Joshua Lwere and other leaders of NFBPC-U visited Buganda Kingdom Premier Charles Peter Mayiga at Bulange-Mengo

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA TEAM

BISHOP Joshua Lwere whose second and final term as General Overseer (GO) of the National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches in Uganda (NFBPC) is coming to an end, has finally succumbed to pressure from over 2000 pastors in Uganda. He has announced his exit! 
This marks the end of rumours which were making rounds among different groups of Born-Again that Joshua Lwere and a clique of his people were plotting to cause the ammendments in the constitution governing NFBPC, with the aim of removing term limit so as to make him a life leader.
This leading investigative news website had landed on a plot hatched by Bishop Joshua Lwere and a clique of his yes men to touch the NFBPC constitution and remove Article 22 (5 b) (b iii) which reads, “After two consecutive terms, the General Overseer may only be eligible for re-election if a period equal or more than the total length that he spent in office has elapsed.”
Meaning, since Lwere’s two terms have elapsed, a new General Overseer should be elected, for he may return to contest for the same office if he wishes to, in the future but not at the expiry of his two terms. So he has to leave office to pave way for the election of the new NFBPC leader.
However, Lwere’s camp didn’t want him to leave office, they wanted the constitution amended so that he runs again! 
During the recently convened Annual General Meeting (AGM) at Lwere’s Grace Assembly Christian Centre located at Sir Apollo Kaggwa road in Kampala, this idea was dropped and this is when Lwere told delegates present that he is going to let them choose a new leader for Balokole in Uganda! 
“Fellow Bishops and all delegates, my term as the General Overseer has ended! I am going away, be ready to choose a new leader.” Announced Bishop Joshua Lwere during the AGM.
The Aspirants for the General Overseer office include; Leonard Sserwadda from Masaka, Fredrick Ssemazzi (former General Secretary (NFBPC ) from Bukasa in Muyenga, Joseph Nsubuga (current National Mobilizer) from Komamboga Kawempe, Moses Odongo (the current National Clerk) from Namuwongo, and renown Pr. David Micheal Kyazze of Omega Healing Centre Namasuba on Entebbe road.
Lwere’s confession that he has no plans to influence constitution amendments and cling to power excited delegates who had planned to walkout on him, protesting if he had dared to announce otherwise! 
One senior pastor said, “Now you are talking. Those who wanted you to abrogate our constitution were misleading you. We shall indeed choose your successor by the guidance of The Holy Spirit.”
Lwere distanced himself from any knowledge about constitutional amendments as alleged saying, the constitutional provision of two terms will be preserved.
According to our sources who attended that AGM, the idea of ending tenure of the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) and that of Electoral Commission (EC) as it had been planned by the Lwere clique also failed.
In fact if it had passed, this could have led to the postponement of the elections. Now that EC’s work was not sabotaged, election of new leaders of National Fellowship for Born-Again Pentecostal Churches, is on course.  Days before the AGM, the election process had been stopped, aspirants banned on the orders of Lwere from holding consultative meetings.
However, Lwere’s clique managed to remove the 40% constitutional requirement for nomination of the General Overseer (GO). 
According to Article 22 (4) b) 
(a); The names of the candidates for the office of the General Overseer shall be forwarded by a minimum of 40% of the District Governing Council (s) from among the members of the National Electoral College, (with national reflection) to the Electoral Commission, which in turn shall forward them to the National Council of Elders for vetting.
In the recent AGM, they also passed a ridiculous AGM sitting to propose and pass a change of constitution without review of the CRC. 

EC SEEKS FOR UGX 2B TO ORGANISE ELECTIONS
Meanwhile, there is a conundrum in the National Fellowship for Born-Again Pentectostal Churches of Uganda, the   Electoral Commission which is in charge of elections of new leaders has no money to conduct elections.
We can reliably report that, EC is in situation catch 22, the commission is looking for funds to the tune of UGX 2B to organise for fresh elections country over. 
Insiders say, although AGM cleared the electoral road map, they didn’t discuss source of the funding.
“Some of us still think that AGM was not needed at this time. Sums of money which was spent to convene the AGM, feeding over 400 delegates for days and transported them back, would have been diverted for the elections this month. How can you give EC a green light to organise elections when you have not given it money? What a clear sabotage?” Asked one of the delegates.
There is a school of thought that there is no interest at all about the elections, “Since selfish interests were frustrated by Pastors.” 
Our attempts to reach Apostle Rogers Zziwa who is the Commissioner General (CG) for EC so that he tells us the way forward were futile, by press time he had not picked our calls. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NFBPC
The National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (NFBPC-U) was formed 32 years ago in 1990.
Records show, it was an idea by the then President Museveni’s Government Minister Balaki Kirya who was a Born-Again. 
General Overseer (GO) of NFBPC is the ultimate leader of the Fellowship of Pentecostal Churches in Uganda.
The first General Overseer was Prof. Simeon Kayiwa of Namirembe Christian Fellowship. 
Kayiwa became GO in 1990 -1995 and was given a second term. 
In 2003, Apostle Alex Mitala took over from Prof. Simeon Kayiwa. His leadership ended in 2013 after 10 years and he left the office peacefully.
The mantle was given to the reigning leadership of Bishop Joshua Lwere in 2013 and his term remains with a few weeks to end.

Hon. Kawalya addressing the people of Namungoona whose property were destroyed by NEMA yesterday.

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

RUBAGA NORTH legislator Hon. Abubaker Kawalya today morning rushed to Namungoona in Rubaga, where hundreds of people were yesterday illegally evicted by officials from The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and their property worth millions of shillings reportedly destroyed by heartless security officials!
MP Kawalya who was accompanied by Rubaga mayor Zacchy Mberaze, a number of councilors and other local leaders, bought food for the evicted people and also vowed to pursue this matter to Parliament. 
Kawalya wants his people compensated for the loss they incurred over what people called incompetence and injustice inflicted upon them by NEMA.
“I am going to raise this issue as a matter of National importance. We will also engage Prime minister. My people must be compensated. NEMA didn’t give them notice, they were just ambushed as if NEMA doesn’t know the law.” Area MP Kawalya told our reporter, on phone.
On Wednesday, NEMA conducted what referred to as a merciless eviction operation that combed down people’s houses and businesses amidst tight security by police officers who were armed to the teeth.
Kawalya together with mayor Mberaze and councilors 0 Councilors Wasswa Ibra Ssemanda, Agatha Mawanda and Hajat Fatuma Muguluma got annoyed by the wrath of the security operatives who conducted the operation which saw the destruction of property worth millions, hence turning these residents into beggars.
The evicted people told their Member of parliament how they erected their structures at the watch of NEMA. They are now demanding for equity in form of compensation for the damage inflicted onto them.
In response, NUP MP Kawalya said, the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, under the General Social and Economic Objectives guarantees to fulfill the fundamental rights of all Ugandans to social justice, economic development, enjoying rights and opportunities and access to clean and safe water, health and decent shelter amongst others.
He said his people were not given a fair hearing and in any way, NEMA had to warn them.
We are told, during a retreat of RCCs/RDCs and their deputies in Kyankwanzi recently, President Museveni directed them to desist from giving green light to people building in wetlands warning that,  any RCC or RDC who will be involved,  “I will not only fire you but you will be arrested and taken to prison.”
Mr. Museveni believes, floods which rese hit Bugishu subregion killing people and destruction of properties, were as a result of encroaching on wetlands. He also directed NEMA to handle. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is a semi-autonomous institution, established in May 1995, as the principal agency in Uganda, charged with the responsibility of coordinating, monitoring, regulating and supervising environmental management in the country. 
Hon. Kawalya however said, in execution of their duties, NEMA should notify the people before evictions are carried out so that their property isn’t destroyed.

● More Pastors Mount Pressure On Lwere To Leave In Peace As His 2nd Term Ends
● Sserwadda Speaks Out On Land Title Whereabouts 

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA TEAM

AN INVESTIGATIVE story, this mighty News Editor Media Website published on Tuesday about a scandal where Bishop Joshua Lwere, the outgoing General Overseer of the Fellowship for Born-Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (NFBPC) allegedly transferred into his company land donated by a top URA boss to the Balokole Fellowship, has deepened!
For starters, the said land in Namanve, Mukono district which is measuring approximately 1 acre was donated to the Fellowship in 2013 by a one James Kisaliza, former commissioner Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).
Pr. Leonard Sserwadda who is the Masaka based Regional Overseer (RO) and a member of NGC also one of the five aspiring candidates who want to unseat Joshua Lwere has written about the whereabouts of this land title, as more pastors mount pressure on Lwere to prepare to leave office since his two terms’ limit has expired. A defiant Lwere has however said, he is going nowhere!
A shocking video clip showing intepred as refusal to leave office and how he plots to ban NFBPC Electoral Commission works has finally leaked! We have it. Very shameful to the body of Christ! (This video is uploaded on our Facebook page. Just log-in news editor online)
Unlike his predecessors Prof. Simeon Kayiwa of Namirembe Christian Fellowship and Apostle Alex Mitala who truthfully served and left in peace when their two constitutional terms expired, Lwere isn’t planning to leave office, its sad!
He has copied notes from some politicians and wants the Constitution amended. He has influence a clique of a few people who he wants the amended constitution to empower and they vote for him so that he rules for life!

WHAT IS IN LEAKED LWERE’S VIDEO ON BANNING ELECTORAL PROCESS 
In a 1:36 minute video clip recorded when Lwere was seated in church talking to someone (not shown), this senior Pastor of Grace Assembly Christian Church Sir Apollo Kaggwa road in Kampala said, him as a leader is banning the electoral process, although it is well stipulated in the NFBPC constitution, saying it will tear down the Fellowship.
In this Video, Bishop Lwere said, “To us as leaders, that cohesion, the unity is more important than the electoral process. If you allow the electoral process to go on, it is going to tear you down, you will have a good electoral process which is going to tear you down.”
In fact a few days to the election of the new General Overseer, the election process has been stopped, aspirants banned on the orders of Lwere from holding consultative meetings.
Lwere who many think fears living the life of not being the General Overseer for Pentecostal Churches in Uganda said, “You have followed the law (of electoral process) but the whole thing is gone. So which is more important if it was you sitting in my seat today? Which one would you protect? Electoral process or the unity of the fellowship? We are protecting the big picture, we are protecting our unity.”
Justifying his unconstitutional move, Lwere says because all the five candidates aspiring for the General Overseer, a top officer in the National Fellowship of Born-Again Pentecostal Churches  (NFBPC) are maligning and mudslinging each other, that kills the spirit of Fellowship, so him as a leader he would rather do away with the elections of new leaders thereby protecting the unity of members in the Fellowship.
In the video, Lwere who looks fatigued and very stressed said, “If you have these five people contesting (for General Overseer National Fellowship for Born-Again Pentecostal Churches), and each one is maligning and mudslinging the other, that is not allowed spiritually. You can do it in the world, but in the church you can not. Whether it’s a local church or a church organisation.”
He said when people start to malign and mudsling each other, “We know you are going a wrong direction. We have a responsibility to correct that. When one stands up and says, ‘No that one is nothing….’, already you have created divisions.  Because if he wins an election, will these people you told that he is nothing follow him? Will they continue to be part of the fellowship?”
“So would you rather protect the electoral process than controlling the umbrella itself and the cohesion? What is more important, is it to protect the unity of the whole thing or protecting the electoral process that will end up tearing the fellowship! Does that make sense?” Asked Lwere in the Video.
According to the NFBPC constitution Article 22 (5 b) (b iii), “After two consecutive terms, the General Overseer may only be eligible for re-election if a period equal or more than the total length that he spent in office has elapsed.”
Meaning, since Lwere’s two terms have elapsed, a new General Overseer should be elected, for he may return to contest for the same office if he wishes to, in the future but not at the expiry of his two terms. So he has to leave office to pave way for the election of the new NFBPC leader.
The Electoral Commission of the National Fellowship for Born-Again Pentecostal Churches is mandated as per the Fellowship constitution to organise elections for the new General Overseer and other offices.
EC had released the road map and already five pastors declared interest to contest for the top office.
These are; Leonard Sserwadda from Masaka, Fredrick Ssemazzi (former General Secretary (NFBPC ) from Bukasa in Muyenga, Joseph Nsubuga (current National Mobilizer) from Komamboga Kawempe, Moses Odongo (the current National Clerk) from Namuwongo, and renown Pr. David Micheal Kyazze of Omega Healing Centre Namasuba on Entebbe road.
In fact, Pr. Michael Kyazze, a senior Pastor in the Country had traversed the whole country to seek for endorsement by fellow Pastors.

PR. FRED KASULE FIRES AT JOSHUA LWERE
Responding to Lwere’s video, Pr. Fed Kasule on August 13, 2022 wrote this, “The explanation in the video clip is sufficient enough to cause a good high magnitude of doubt in proportion to the secondary act that was taken by NGC. It may cause one to assume that an official written communication would be made to Electoral Comission who is the responsible organ, and be informed of the happenings, concerns, worries and be told to handle the situation at the earliest possible rather than tampering with the Electoral Roadmap and it’s activities.”
Pastor Kasule revealed that he is sure if it was done in that professional manner of handling business in organizations, the  EC could take charge and call all aspirants in a meeting to regulate and guide  them. 
“I am of the view that the aspirants would heed the CG EC. This would be the right best way to handle the situation ideally. The situation didn’t need any NEC or NGC resolutions if it was handled professionally and as per NFBPC organ, protocols, and policies of functionality and operations. It’s good, the General Overseer (Joshua Lwere) has come out, express and justify his motive.”

BACK TO PASTOR SSERWADDA’S WRITEUP ABOUT LWERE’S LAND SCANDAL
In a message written by Lwere’s ‘yes man’ Leonard Sserwadda and shared to different Pastors’ forums (WhatsApp groups), a message which analysts believe he was coached to tell lies to the flock of Christ, he said, “I am here to clarify that the land titles are safely handled by our National Treasurer, Bishop Oduchi. Reports that our General Overseer Bishop Joshua Lwere transferred the land title into his company, is incorrect.”
In our story published on Tuesday this week which went viral world over, pastors accused Bishop Joshua Lwere, a renown Anti corruption crusader for not only plotting to amend the NFBPC constitution and remove term limits so that he can run again as leader of Born-Again Fellowship in Uganda, they also alleged, Lwere transferred the Namanve land title into his own company! 
They even said, this is what Lwere has done for the Fellowship in his ten years tenure, nothing more. 
Bishop Leonard Sserwadda, the Masaka Chairperson House of Bishops(regional overseers), also a member of NGC said, the said land title is in very safe hands.
However Pastors demand to have a look at the title and some wanted it shared on their WhatsApp groups for Lwere to disapprove those alleging that he transferred it into his company.
Leonard Sserwadda also said, Bishop Lwere doesn’t have any intention of tampering with the NFBPC constitution in order to remain General Overseer as many believe.
He said, “In the former Masaka meeting, where we discussed the constitution and found out that there were expired organs like Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) and Electoral Commission (EC) because of COVID, we came up with an extra Ordinary General Meeting so as to expand their term temporarily until the nearest AGM because the AGM is the supreme council to guide the fellowship. There is no hidden agenda in the AGM.” 
However, impeccable sources confirm, a four-days Annual General Meeting (AGM) has been called to amend NFBPC Constitution and remove term lifts so that Lwere can run again or even be declared a sole candidate. 
In July 2022, Bishop Mark Wamala the General Secretary NFBPC wrote to NEC members, Members of the Council of Elders, the NFBPC Ministers and the NFBPC electoral Commission inviting them to the NFBPC Annual General Assembly scheduled for August 22nd – 25th, 2022 at Lwere’s Grace Christian Centre church located at Sir Apollo Kaggwa Road.
Others invited in the Annual General Meeting intended to clear Lwere for a third term are; The Constitutional review Commission, the five members from each of the NFBPC Regional councils, the five members from each of the provincial councils and the five members from each of the NFBPC district councils.
Bishop Wamala’s letter reads, “This is to officially invite you to the General Assembly as per Article 17: 2b of the Constitution as amended in 2016.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NFBPC
The National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (NFBPC-U) was formed 32 years ago in 1990.
Records show, it was an idea by the then President Museveni’s Government Minister Balaki Kirya who was a Born-Again. 
General Overseer (GO) of NFBPC is the ultimate leader of the Fellowship of Pentecostal Churches in Uganda.
The first General Overseer was Prof. Simeon Kayiwa of Namirembe Christian Fellowship. 
Kayiwa became GO in 1990 -1995 and was given a second term. 
In 2003, Apostle Alex Mitala took over from Prof. Simeon Kayiwa. His leadership ended in 2013 after 10 years and he left the office peacefully.
The mantle was given to the reigning leadership of Bishop Joshua Lwere in 2013 and his term remains with a few weeks to end.

DETAILS OF LWERE’S GAME PLAN
Because he doesn’t want to leave office of General Overseer, Joshua Lwere’s plot is about taking away the right of eligible voters of the GO and vesting the power into a clique of the House of Bishops, just like it is done in the Anglican Church, and they dictate on who should be the next GO.
Because this will be a new format of electing the GO, Lwere will automatically bounce back as the General Overseer!!
According to Lwere’s strategists, the usual process of election where aspirants move around the whole country, consulting pastors and soliciting for nomination, is already banned.
The statement was signed by; Bishop Joshua Lwere (GO), Bishop Mark Wamala (GS), Bishop George Odouc (NTR), Bishop Daniel Waddimba  (NPRO), Bishop Joseph Nsubuga  (NM), Bishop Moses Odongo (NC), Bishop Don Tumusiime (RO Ankole), Bishop Julius Kamiza (RO Eastern), Bishop Leonard Sserwadda (RO Southern), Bishop Michael Grace Okello (RO Kigezi), Bishop Francis Gamukama (RO Rwenzori), Bishop Hudson Suubi (RO Central) and Bishop Godfrey Luwagga (RO Kampala). This is a clique fronted to bring back Lwere after the expiry of his two constitutional terms.

DEAL DETAILS
After amending the NFBPC constituition and power to elect the new GO is given to the 14 Bishops, insiders say, these Bishops will convene a meeting from where they will elect among themselves the new GO, probably Joshua Lwere who is the convener and Chairman.
For starters, Bishops are the Regional Overseers (RO) from the 14 regions making Uganda. These form the House of Bishops. 
The regions are; Karamoja, Teso, Lango, Acholi, Westnile, Bunyoro, Rwenzori, Kigezi, Ankole, Buganda Southern Part (Masaka to Mutukula), Central region, Busoga, Kampala and Bukedi. 
So these 14 will converge in a place, pray, and among them find the General Overseer. Lwere and his clique wants to do an episcopal election in a Fellowship, something which is contested by Pastors across the country.
“The Anglican approach in electing their leader can’t work in Pentecostal churches. For the Anglican church, it is stimulous from ground. It is the whole Anglican church,but for NFBPC, this is a Fellowship. We are People of different background, coming together with registered legal ministries. You can not hijack and impose on us a leader who isn’t of our choice.” Said one of the Pastors from Karamoja region.
In an exclusive interview with this news website, this Pastor told us, “We put our trust in you to lead us, how dare you come back and say you locked the door for us because we are too many, that is why you are seeking mandate from only the Bishops. That is wrong.”
