Prophet Dr. David Owuor's church refutes claims of stealing from rich Nairobi faithful

- Repentance and Holiness Ministries Deputy Archbishop George Chaka denied Prophet David Owuor had taken over properties of Nairobi lawyer Jane Muthoni

- He said a fellow bishop was approached by Muthoni to help her manage her multi-million estate after she begun suffering memory loss

- He said Bishop Lillian Macharia had helped Muthoni manage the property for 12 years without demanding any pay

- The church leaders claimed they offered free legal services in management of Muthoni's property and distanced Owuor from the matter

- The bishops claimed Muthoni was unfamiliar with her family members hence approached church leaders to help her manage property

- Bishop Jane Gathara said no bishop including the prophet lived in Muthoni's houses or collected rent.

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.
