As a member of the Thomas Committee: show me the wounds, show me the evidence. This testimony should be unusually easy to verify. The man says he had rectal cancer, several operations, treatment in Milan and Uganda, worked with State House, crossed paths with the late Keith Muhakanizi, may the ancestors receive him with honour, received financial help from identifiable people, and is still undergoing radiotherapy. That is not just a testimony. That is a trail. There are two questions: Was he really sick? And if so, is he really healed? The man lifts his shirt and says his abdomen was extensively cut, yet there is no obvious large scar. But let’s assume it was a laparoscopic low anterior resection. Fine. Show us the operative report. He says Muhakanizi found him in Milan. Public records can confirm Muhakanizi was there, but that does not confirm this man was with him. And unfortunately for this testimony, the dead make convenient witnesses. They cannot be cross-examined. So we turn to the living. He says he worked with State House. @StateHouseUg, perhaps someone can identify him. He also says Col. Amon Kagina contributed UGX 9 million toward his treatment. Can the Colonel corroborate that? Then there is the most important detail. He says he was prescribed 45 rounds of radiation and still has 12 remaining. That means he is still inside the oncology system right now. So even if we establish that he really had cancer, really had surgery, really went to Milan and really received treatment, that only proves he was sick. It does not yet prove he was healed. What do the latest scans and oncology reports say? Even the Catholic Church, which explicitly believes in miracles, does not simply hear “I am healed” and close the file. It looks for medical evidence and independent scrutiny. And since Pastor Kayanja posted this testimony on his own timeline during an active public debate, it is fair to treat it as evidence entered into the court of public opinion. Very well. Exhibit received. Now let us test its probative value. If this man was truly healed, then establishing that fact carefully is not an inconvenience to faith. It may be part of the witness.
