A LOCAL evangelist, Pastor Simeon Kayiwa, yesterday spurned allegations that he practices witchcraft. He instead blasted the woman who authored a book about him “twisting factsâ€, reports Geoffrey Kamali.
Pastor Kayiwa is chairman of the National Fellowship of Born Again Churches of Uganda and head of the Namirembe Christian Fellowship Church.
In her book, The Power of Miracles, Rochelle Gibler claims, among other things, that Kayiwa cursed several people, among them a child who died three days after an argument with its father.
“Then there was the poor man who called him (Kayiwa) a false prophet one day on the street and Kayiwa responded quickly, ‘You will not eat on the day of the Lord.’
“It was Christmas Eve and the man was found dead the next day with insects crawling about his body,†the book reads in part.
The report also claimed Kayiwa demanded two cars from a London attorney, Gerard Nock, after he (Kayiwa) had prayed for a race horse. When he did not get the cars, the horse “fell and had to be put downâ€.
However, Kayiwa said the horse’s fate was God’s plan.
