Attorney General Dr. Sam Mayanja has credited Pastor Aloysius Bugingo with playing a role in his rise to senior government positions, saying the preacher had earlier prophesied about his future.
Mayanja made the revelation during a thanksgiving service at Bugingo’s Canaan Land Church in Makerere Kavule, Kampala, attended by thousands of believers and several government officials.
Mayanja recalled meeting Bugingo years ago while he was still a private lawyer. He said the pastor prayed for him and spoke words that he later interpreted as a prophecy about his elevation to a senior government position.
Shortly afterwards, President Yoweri Museveni appointed him State Minister for Lands, a move that reminded him of Bugingo’s earlier words.
Mayanja served as State Minister for Lands for five years before being appointed Attorney General.
He said Bugingo later prayed for him again and made another prediction about his future, which he recalled when he was elevated to the Attorney General’s position.
The minister also praised Bugingo for his prayers and said his faith helped him survive difficult moments during his time in government, particularly while handling controversial land disputes.
Mayanja further praised President Museveni for what he described as creating an environment where Born Again Christians can freely worship.
He also reflected on his early Christian life, recalling how he preached in Bwaise while studying law at Makerere University in the 1970s.
During the thanksgiving service, Mayanja gave $3,000 as an offering and thanked God for his journey from private lawyer to one of Uganda’s top government legal offices
