Ugandan pastor who sets thousands of Holy Bibles ablaze for misleading his members, has been sued #CAPontheRun
Recall in April, we reported the news of Pastor Aloysius Bugingo of
House of Prayer Ministries in Uganda, who allegedly burnt thousands of
holy bible in his claims that they were misleading his members.
Now a lawsuit has been filed against him in Nabweru court for
violating Christian’s freedom of worship by burning several versions of
the Holy Bible.
In the lawsuit, some pastors representing over 200 Christians are
seeking a court declaration that Bugingo’s acts or omissions of burning
and destroying the Holy Bibles are illegal and unlawful, as it injures
their religious feelings.
The pastors also contend that Bugingo’s actions are an attack and insult to all Christians who believe in the Bible.
They want the court to issue a permanent injunction, restraining
Bugingo and his servants from further burning and destroying Bibles of
several versions and making utterances, speeches, sermons or statements
concerning the Holy Bible in a way that attacks, violets or insults
their faith or religion.
The pastors also want the court to award them damages at a rate of
25 percent from the date of judgment until payment is done and costs of
the suit.
In the court document sighted by New Vision, it was stated that on April 4, 2016 (Easter Sunday),
Bugingo collected or gathered several Holy Bibles of different
versions, translations, and languages with the word Holy Ghost or
missing scriptures and advised his flock or followers who are ‘not
strong’ to burn or destroy it.
Members of House of Prayer Ministries located in Makerere in
Uganda, were left shocked when their pastor, Aloysius Bugingo on Easter Monday set thousands of Holy bibles, belonging to them ablaze saying it was misleading.
According to report by CAP on the run, the pastor claims that the lines
talking about the Fasting and Lent, in general, were erased and that the
word ‘Holy Ghost ‘appears a whopping 99 times yet the word ‘Holy
Spirit’ appears only seven times.
He says that Bibles like The King Jame’s version, the New
Testament, The Good News Bible have been tampered with and some verses
were omitted.
Pastor Bugingo who has 3,000 to 6,000 members who attend prayers at
his church daily requested for their Bibles which has the misleading
lines and set them ablaze on Easter Monday.
Nabweru court chief magistrate, Esther Nasambu who will preside
over the case, has given Bugingo 15 days to file his defence on
allegations of violating Christian’s freedom of worship by burning
several versions of the Holy Bible.

Japan FY2020 budget deficit to narrow to 5.5 trillion yen - sources #CAPMondayBusinessTip
Japan's Prime Minister and leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Shinzo Abe attends a news conference following a victory in the upper house elections by his ruling coalition, at the LDP headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, July 11, 2016. Japan's primary budget deficit is expected to be around 5.5 trillion yen ($51.77 billion) in fiscal 2020, improving from a 6.5 trillion yen deficit earlier projected but still missing the goal of a surplus, government sources who have seen the figures said on Monday. The primary budget deficit is expected to narrow partly because of the sluggish inflation outlook, with lower prices helping suppress government spending, said one of the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The forecast is also based on the assumption economic growth would pick up, the source said. Japan's government cut its forecasts for consumer prices earlier this month, saying it expected them to rise 1.4 percent for fiscal 2017, well bel
