A few days ago, rumour circulated that Rubaga Miracle center cathedral’s Pastor Robert Kayanja was fighting and preaching against Uganda police in the recent riots. The rumour circulated after a doctored video went viral on social media on 30th November.

As soon as it was released, twisted stories were circulated and the Pastor looked like he was hitting hard and heavily blaming the police for the instability.

However, On Wednesday afternoon, the man of God was clearly pointing out how sometimes negotiation could be the answer to the ongoing political situation in the country rather than teargas and deaths that have been registered in recent weeks.

Pastor Kayanja revealed how the video was doctored by someone who edited out a large part of his message and used it to suit their own interests contrary to his own message in entirety which was for Ugandans to take care of in this COVID-19 period. “The messages I made for all Ugandans to treat each other with the utmost respect and adhere to COVID-19 guidelines set by the ministry of health and to keep the peace through the general elections is unfortunately in some corners being used to disseminate a particular propaganda narrative. The messages were purely pastoral and I have been praying for peaceful elections in the nation since 28th September but someone chose to doctor a video which was posted on 30th November in which they mixed up issues within his address leaving out balanced information.” He said.

Pastor Kayanja also commented on the ongoing security situation in the country as he preached fairness, respect, and dignity for all ahead of the looming 2021 general elections. “Inciting crowds is evil. You cannot burn the house where you’re living,” Kayanja noted as he quoted Romans 13 which partly states; Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
