Frank Gashumba Takes Legal Action After Alleged Threats From Pastor Kayanja

Businessman and political analyst Frank Gashumba has announced plans to take legal action following what he describes as threats against his life by religious leaders, particularly Pastor Robert Kayanja.

Gashumba says he is taking the matter seriously after Pastor Kayanja allegedly made a prophecy that something terrible would happen to him within a year, following his criticism of certain church practices.

Speaking in an interview, Gashumba expressed concern that someone could use the prophecy as an excuse to harm him and later portray the incident as a fulfilment of the pastor’s words.

He revealed that he intends to involve the relevant authorities so that accountability can be established should anything happen to him.

Beyond the alleged threats, Gashumba disclosed plans to write to President Yoweri Museveni and the Speaker of Parliament, raising concerns about financial practices in some churches.

He questioned the continuous demands for offertory, tithes and seed offerings, arguing that such contributions could be placing unnecessary financial pressure on ordinary believers and keeping them in poverty.

Gashumba also took aim at pastors who allegedly encourage sick people to abandon prescribed medical treatment in favour of prayer and miracles.

He cited cases involving people living with HIV and cancer, claiming that some patients had died after following religious advice to stop taking medication.

The outspoken analyst further questioned Pastor Kayanja’s healing claims, bringing up the reported deaths of the pastor’s brothers from diabetes and cancer.

In another personal attack, Gashumba mocked Kayanja over his bald head, questioning why the pastor could not perform a miracle to restore his own hair.

His remarks have added another layer to the growing debate surrounding religious leadership, church fundraising and the relationship between faith and medical treatment.
