President Yoweri Museveni officiated the grand opening of Pastor Samuel Kakande's The Temple Mount Church of All Nations in Mulago, Kampala. The newly constructed worship center which stands as the biggest achievement for Pastor Kakande, drawing national attention not only for its massive size but also the interior.

Appearing at the grand opening, President Museveni praised the church's construction and reiterated the National Resistance Movement (NRM)'s stance on religious freedom. 

In a post shared on his X account (formerly Twitter), President Museveni emphasized that the government does not judge religious affiliations, stating:

“It is not the government's role to judge which religion is right or wrong. That responsibility belongs to God, not to the government.”

Museveni also congratulated Prophet Kakande for his dedication and wished him success.

During his sermon, Pastor Kakande made comments that left many speculating about the target of his message. 

In a statement perceived as a subtle jab, he repeatedly referenced the difference between "men and boys," saying:

“From our new building, you can know the men and the boys... Somebody may shout too much and stand to abuse... but you can know now the men and the boys.”

Although Kakande did not mention names, many netizens interpreted his remarks as a direct reference to Pastor Aloysius Bugingo, who has been raising funds for years to construct a church but has not yet completed the project.

Inside the church

The veiled comments stirred debate across social media platforms. Some users applauded Kakande for his successful church construction, while others criticized the subtle swipe at Pastor Bugingo, calling for unity among religious leaders.

The opening of Pastor Kakande's church highlights not only his influence as a religious leader but also the growing scrutiny of church construction projects in Uganda. 

With many religious leaders collecting funds from their congregations, the event sparked wider conversations about accountability, transparency, and progress.
