Pastor Bugingo never gave me money but only prayers - Lwasa

Allegations later suggested Lwasa left Bugingo's church a happy man after receiving some cash from the preacher; however, Lwasa says he only received prayers from the church.

Over the weekend, ex-tycoon Emmanuel Lwasa visited city preacher Aloysius Bugingo for prayers at his church.

Allegations later suggested Lwasa left Bugingo's church a happy man after receiving some cash from the preacher; however, Lwasa says he only received prayers from the church.

Bugingo offered him prayers and holy water but nothing like money.

"I never received any money from Pastor Bugingo. I received only prayers, and I think they are working because I have received some money from this young tycoon," he partly said in an interview with Spark TV.

Earlier this year, Emmanuel Lwasa announced he ran bankrupt and should be helped by well-wishers to clear his debts.
