iii. There was never a music competition at the Miracle Centre in 2008, as alleged in his affidavit.
iv. There is no evidence, medical or otherwise, to show that the complainant was sodomised by Pastor Kayanja. In fact, at the time of medical examination by the Police Surgeon, there was no evidence that Samson Mukisa had ever been sodomised, or even had his anus stitched up as alleged in his affidavit.
v. There is evidence to prove that Pastor Kayanja was out of the country on the dates on which he is alleged to have sodomised the complainant.

vii. The complainant has since retracted his earlier allegation of sodomy against Pastor Kayanja and stated that all his earlier accusations against Pastor Kayanja were false, and were masterminded by Pastors Male, Kyaze, Sempa and Kayiira for the purpose of tarnishing Pastor Kayanja’s name.
Conclusions/recommendations
In retracting their statements, the complainants revealed that they had been mobilised to make false accusations against Pastor Robert Kayanja in order to tarnish his name.
I, therefore, recommend that the persons who conspired and mobilised the complainants to make false allegations against Pastor Robert Kayanja be charged with the offence of Conspiracy to Injure the Reputation of Pastor Kayanja, Contrary to Section 392(b) of the Penal Code Act.
I further recommend that the persons who were so mobilised be retained as witnesses in this case.
