Another Prominent Pentecostal Pastor Dies Of Covid-19

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news July 23, 2021

The Born-Again community is mourning the passing of yet another member of the faith who died of Covid-19. Pastor Benon Kayanja took his last breath on Thursday evening at Lubaga Hospital.

He carried out his pastoral activities at Prayer Palace Church at Kibuye, Kampala.

Apparently, they admitted Pastor Kayanja to the hospital earlier this week after he developed breathing difficulties.

By the time the press got to the hospital, they were already making preparations to transport the body from the hospital.

This death comes hardly a month after another pastor, Bishop Stephen Senfuma, the founder of Innerman Ministries died.

Additionally, he also happened to be the founder of Innerman Broadcasting Company which provides Christ-Centered radio programming.

As of Thursday, Uganda’s cumulative covid-19 infections stood at 61,355. At the same time, the number of people that have recovered stands at 71,750.

Active cases on admission in health centres stood at 794 while the positivity rate was 7.7%.

In total, Uganda has carried out 1,436,820 covid-19 tests and vaccinated 1,110,867 people.

There came only one low, however; and it came from covid-19 fatalities, which were recorded at 58 in one day.

These deaths explain Uganda’s steeper rise from 2,425 deaths on Wednesday to 2,483 deaths on Thursday.
