Leaders of Repentance and Holiness Ministries founded by
Prophet David Owuor have denied reports that the church took over properties
worth hundreds of millions from wealthy Nairobi lawyer Jane Muthoni Njagi.
Ian Njagi, Muthoni's son, had alleged the church worker
brainwashed his mother since she joined the ministry in 2004 making her to cut
links with close family members and barring them from accessing her.
Addressing the press in Nairobi on Tuesday, March 5, the
church's leaders denied the allegations saying Muthoni had entered into an
agreement with their colleague Bishop Lillian Macharia to help her manage her
properties because she was suffering from an increasing memory lapse.
"The church came in to help former Bishop Muthoni to
manage her apartments. She was unfamiliar with her family. She has not been
financing the mega meetings of the mightiest prophet," said George Chaka,
the church's deputy archbishop.
According to Chaka, the prophet was never lacking in
finances and would have too much to handle if he ever asked for offerings from
multitudes who attend his mega meetings.
"If he wanted money could he not ask for offerings. No
amount of bags would be able to contain offerings from mammoth congregations
who attend his meetings. The prophet came against the love of money. It is
wrong to allege proceeds from Muthoni's investments have been financing our
activities," said Chaka.
Chaka said Owuor had never taken offerings because he had
been instructed not to by God.
