Pastor Tom Mugerwa’s charade has been unmasked in the most shocking way possible. This so-called “man of God” has revealed himself as a despicable conman, shamelessly exploiting the faith and trust of his followers while hoarding billions of shillings in his bank accounts. This is no holy sanctuary—it’s a cesspool of greed and exploitation. Pastor Tom, who parades himself as a humble servant of the Lord, has crafted an empire of deceit, built on the backs of those who believe in his manufactured piety.
The truth is horrifyingly clear: Pastor Tom’s so-called ministry is nothing more than a vile scam. Every tithe and offering that pours into his church is not a gesture of faith; it’s a deposit into the vaults of his personal fortune. With millions flooding through his mobile money lines daily, often surpassing the telecom companies’ limits, it’s evident that Pastor Tom’s “church” operates as a slick Ponzi scheme masquerading as a place of worship. His wife, Justine, is complicit in this elaborate fraud, and together they’ve turned their religious enterprise into a money-printing machine. They have turned sacred faith into a mere cash grab.
The Finance Intelligence Authority’s recent interrogation of Pastor Tom reveals the scale of his greed. The vast sums of money lying idle in the church’s accounts are a testament to his unchecked avarice. While Pastor Tom continues to play the role of a saintly preacher from his golden pedestal, the money intended for the needy remains untouched. This is not charity; this is outright robbery. It’s a grotesque commercialization of faith, where Pastor Tom and his cronies line their pockets while the poor and suffering are left in the dust.
In a sick twist of irony, Pastor Tom’s congregation is forced to send their hard-earned money to support this farce. The money flows into Stanbic and other banks, swelling Pastor Tom’s fortune while his followers remain in poverty. His constant sermons about humility and charity are nothing but a smokescreen for his rampant greed. The hypocrisy of this man knows no bounds. As he continues to pocket millions, he remains blissfully indifferent to the plight of his desperate congregation. His so-called humility is nothing but a carefully crafted lie.
The recent scandal involving the Baferes further exposes the depth of Pastor Tom’s deceit. These fraudsters managed to scam billions from Pastor Tom’s flock by selling counterfeit calendars. The Baferes used Pastor Tom’s name and image to dupe worshippers into sending money to fraudulent mobile lines. And what did Pastor Tom do when this scam was uncovered? Absolutely nothing! He ignored the situation, allowing the crooks to continue their plunder. This inaction is a blatant disregard for the welfare of his followers and a further proof of his contemptible greed.
Pastor Tom’s ministry has become a playground for avarice, where every sermon and prayer is a veneer for his financial exploitation. To the poor souls who believe they are investing in their spiritual growth, the truth is brutal: they are merely feeding Pastor Tom’s insatiable greed. As the Bible warns, “For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Pastor Tom embodies this evil in its most corrupt form. His followers, instead of finding salvation, are being fleeced and left with nothing but empty promises.
It is time for Ugandans to wake up and see this man for what he truly is—a fraud who uses religion as a front for his personal gain. The façade of faith and humility is nothing more than a carefully constructed lie to deceive and exploit. Pastor Tom’s empire of deceit needs to be dismantled, and the truth exposed. This isn’t a church; it’s a business, and Pastor Tom is its unscrupulous CEO. His reign of financial fraud must end, and the true nature of his corruption must be brought to light. As the Bible says, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!” (Matthew 23:27). Pastor Tom’s hypocrisy and greed are a blight on genuine faith and a stark warning against those who pervert religion for personal profit.
