Celebrated city pastor Franklin Mondo Mugisha, has been dragged to court by his side dish accusing him of impregnanting her and neglecting the child.
Sarah Nakuye, a mother of the eleven-year-old boy, fathered by the Empowerment Christian Centre Church International lead pastor, Mondo, claims that she has been looking after the child from day one and she is now tired.
Narrating her plight as single mother, Nakuye says she has tried all possible attempts to reach out to the man of God for support from the day President Museveni announced the reopening of schools, but in vain.
She has taken the matter to court after three failed attempts to get the Pastor in negotiations with her.
She said that Pastor Mondo had agreed to pay a sum of shs 300,000 but he only fulfilled the pledge for the first two months and has not paid any child support fees for the last three years.
Nakuye further reveals that Mondo had pledged to provide for the child as long as she never took him to his church.
“He told me he never wanted the kid to be seen by his flock but he would be providing for him and it was okay with me but now I am tired of covering up for him because kids are back to school and it seems he is not willing to help that is why I have come out,” she said.
“He no longer wants to pick my calls. He blocked all my phones. Even when I try calling him using other people’s phones, he picks but ends the call as soon as he hears my voice on the other end. Now, how else can I hear from him other than going to (his) church?” Nakuye lamented.
Nakuye told reports that she is now left with no other option, rather than dragging the pastor to court for immediate assistance.
“I have visited different pastors to help me but they have not helped yet. All I want is for Mondo to provide school fees for his kid. I have now taken the matter to court,” Nakuye said
Pastor Mondo gained popularity during the COVID-19 lockdown after his utterances on men with six packs went viral on social media.
According to the videos, the pastor remarkably said that Six Packs Tummies are for poor and broke men. His utterances were a major breakthrough of the big bellied man to the limelights.
His love for women is also unceasing. In 2020, female socialite Doreen Kabareebe, the pastor’s alleged concubine called him a virgin. The two were allegedly having sexual crushes on each other.
