Christians have started writing to the media accusing Rev.Fr.Alex Mugasha of corruption and other vices.
Letters seen by www.mknewslink.com managing director show that Rev. Fr. was recently transferred from Bitooma to Buhweju because he was corrupt.
According to the former parish council chairman, also town clerk Rwentuha town council Willy Mwesigire, Fr. Mugasha rented the tea estate for 6 years which was against the normal procedure for Bitooma parish.
He noted that the pupils of St.Claria Primary School broke off from the school for second term two weeks before official closure because father had drawn money from the school.
Willy also alleged that the father replaced him as parish council chairman with a primary five graduate so that the issues of accountability would be limited.
However speaking to www.mknewslink.com on phone today,Fr. Mugasha noted that Willy and his group were stealing from the church adding that when he eliminated them they arose to accuse him of fake accounts.
He accepted that its true he rented the tea estate for 6 years and bought a new raver 4 vehicle which is registered in the names of the diocese and he left it at the parish when he was transferred.
The father said that his transfer was a promotion since Bitooma started 25 years ago whereas Buhweju is older but not as Willy and group allege

Eng Amuriat said while the two have kept independent structures both at national and grass root level, these have been intertwined to make a bigger force much prepared to take the government at any time.
Amuriat was explaining basing in queries by Ntungamo FDC leaders that the Peoples’ government was swallowing the FDC party seeking distinction between the two.
“Am glad we are making a step ahead, many NRM diehards have started realizing the truth and channeling away from the lies of the NRM and joining the struggle to relieve Uganda from the dictators,” Oboi noted.

In Kampala
Dfcu banks latest financial statement shows a drop of 14.4 per cent in net profit to Shs35.6 billion for the first six months of this year due to a sharp reduction in borrowings, lower recoveries and increased operating expenses.
This contrasts sharply with the earnings of the same period of 2017 after the Bank of Uganda handed over former Crane Bank assets to Dfcu bank, contributing to Shs114 billion in net profits, up from Shs23 billion in 2016.
Figures show that loans and advances slightly increased to Shs1.42 billion from Shs1.36 billion in first half of 2019.
The financial statement shows the bank has maintained a cautious view of lending to small and medium enterprises citing turbulent circumstances in the international financial markets such as Brexit, trade wars, lower growth in China and Europe.
Revenue weakness continues to come from interest earnings the main revenue line of the bank.
Meanwhile, customers deposits dropped to Shs1.99 billion from Shs2.0 billion during the period under review. The banks net operating income grew marginally from to Shs148.5 billion from Shs146 billion while its operating expenses grew by 3 per cent to Shs99.1billion.
This is the second time in a row that Dfcu bank is recording a sharp decline in profits following last year’s 52 per cent slump in net profit to Shs61.7 billion.
The bad business is attributed to decline in earnings from investment in government securities and huge expenditures in legal battles.
This comes barely a year since the financial institution recruited Mathias Katamba as the Managing Director in 2018 to replace Juma Kisaame, who had served for 11 years and was crucial in the acquisition of Crane Bank Limited.
Dfcu bank took Uganda’s banking industry by surprise when it took over assets of Crane Bank Limited but the latest analysis, according to experts could be attributed to the exit of former Crane Bank customers and the current customer mistrust.
Dfcu bank has of recent been hit by fraud that involved loss of billions of customers’ money.

In Mbarara—-
Mbarara High Court has cancelled its earlier order for the auctioning of land on which Kabagarame pork market sits amid pressure from Bushenyi District residents and leaders.
In a directive dated August 29 to Lauben Tayebwa of Best Associated Auctioneers and Court Bailiffs, Mbarara High Court Deputy Registrar Amos Kwizera said he was recalling the earlier directive following complaints from lawyers of Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipality.
I wish to recall with immediate effect the (2) own warrants issued to you in respect of the above-mentioned matter for attachment and sale, and to give vacant possession immediately, the court directive reads in part.
“This recall has been prompted by a complaint (as attached) lodged by counsel for the defendant/ appellant which complaint shall be addressed in presence of both parties and their advocates on 2nd September 2019 at 9:00 am when the matter is scheduled for mention before the Deputy Registrar,” he added.
It was not immediately cleared on what transpired in the Monday court session.
However, the news will be received with excitement from area leaders and residents who have been benefiting from the market.
About 10 days ago, Mbarara High Court Deputy Registrar Amos Kwizera directed Best Associated Auctioneers and Court Bailiffs to sell the land on which the pork market sits, and a residential house of Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality Town Clerk, among other properties, within 30 days to recover Shs187m million the municipality owes Manfred Muhumuza and others.
Mr Muhumuza and others had earlier defeated the municipality in the chief magistrates court, high court, and court of appeal over ownership of parkland.
Hundreds of Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipality residents last Thursday took to the streets to demonstrate against the planned sale of the Pork Market.
Holding placards that bore words of ‘Afazari Nkuroga Wakwata Ahari Kabagarame’ the residents vowed to fight to the end to save their market that has been lined up for auction in order to recover money the Municipality owes to a businessman.
Led by area MP Gordon Arinda aka Cowboy and district chairman Jaffar Bassajjabalama, the residents started the March from the market in question up to Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality headquarters where they gathered to show their concerns.
Cowboy vowed to save the market, which he said is a source of livelihood for thousands of people.
The demonstrators handed over the petition including over 2000 signatures to the area MP to take to president Museveni so that he comes and rescues their pork market.
