Pastor Tom Mugerwa has reportedly completed a large multi-storey building designed to serve as toilet facilities for worshippers at his Christian Fellowship Church in Mutundwe, Kampala. The structure has attracted attention because of its apartment-like appearance and the large number of people who reportedly gather at the church premises.
The development comes as Ugandan pastors and members of the public continue debating Frank Gashumba’s challenge to miracle preachers. Gashumba challenged religious leaders who claim to perform miracles to go to Mulago Hospital and pray for the sick, offering Shs500 million if a miracle could be demonstrated under the proposed challenge.
While the debate has focused on miracles and the responsibilities of religious leaders, reports about Mugerwa’s new facility have shifted attention to the infrastructure serving worshippers at his church.
The toilet complex reportedly stands within the church’s extensive property in Mutundwe, where thousands of worshippers are said to gather for services and other religious activities. The facilities are intended to cater for the sanitation needs of the large congregation.
Mugerwa’s church premises are reported to cover more than 15 acres, with the pastor having gradually acquired land from neighbouring property owners over the years. The latest construction is part of the wider development taking place on the church property.
Reports further suggest that Mugerwa intends to continue purchasing neighbouring plots as they become available. The long-term ambition, according to the claims, is to expand the church’s presence across the surrounding area.
The reported plan has prompted attention to the scale of the church’s property and the facilities being developed for its members. However, details about the project’s total cost, construction timeline and the exact capacity of the toilet complex have not been provided in the available account.
As Uganda’s religious leaders remain under public scrutiny amid debates about miracles, accountability and the use of church resources, Mugerwa’s reported construction has become another talking point. The facility highlights the practical infrastructure required to accommodate large congregations, although the claims about future land acquisitions and plans to rename the surrounding village have not been independently confirmed.
