Pastor Ssenyonga Faces Property Seizure as Church Struggles to Clear Loan
KAMPALA – Prominent city pastor Jackson Ssenyonga has been reportedly waking up at 3:00 a.m. daily to pray for divine intervention as court bailiffs move to auction off several commercial properties belonging to his Christian Life Ministries.
According to a notice published in the Daily Monitor of Thursday, March 12, 2026, Jald (IV), operating as Pay-Go-Free Auctioneers & Court Bailiffs, has given the church a few weeks to settle an outstanding loan on properties located in Mulago and Makerere. The auctioneers are acting on instructions from an unnamed financial institution.
The notice warns that if the church fails to clear “the outstanding loan balances, interest plus our fees and disbursements” before the sale date, the properties will be disposed of by public auction or private treaty.
Properties Listed for Sale
The properties under threat include:
· Block 5 Plot 992 at Mulago Kibuga (approx. 0.334 acres), registered in the name of Abel Balemesa B. This is a multi-storey commercial building with shops and offices, currently occupied.
· Block 28 Plot 568 at Makerere Kibuga (approx. 0.296 acres), registered to Christian Life Ministries. The land appears undeveloped or partially cleared.
· Block 28 Plot 664 at Makerere Kibuga (approx. 0.445 acres), also registered to the church.
· Block 28 Plots 570 and 571 at Makerere Kibuga (approx. 0.519 acres combined), registered to Christian Life Ministries.
A Pastor’s Early Morning Vigil
Sources close to the pastor reveal that Ssenyonga has intensified his prayer schedule, rising at 3:00 a.m. each day to seek God’s intervention in the church’s financial troubles. The development has shocked many followers, as the pastor is known for his high-profile ministry and the church’s extensive commercial holdings.
Neither Pastor Ssenyonga nor representatives of Christian Life Ministries have issued an official statement regarding the auction notice. Efforts to reach the named financial institution were unsuccessful.
The auctioneers have not disclosed the exact amount owed, but the notice makes clear that failure to pay will result in the loss of all five listed properties.
