It looks like Kenyans are the most difficult people when it comes to
learning. Embattled Salvation Healing Ministry preacher Victor Kanyari
went on with service at his church in the city amid tight security by
hired men. The service at Cross Road in Nyamakima area went on as usual
but those who went in had to be vetted and screened by a group of youths
who stood on the staircase heading to fourth floor of the church.
The youth chased away journalists who tried to venture into the church
saying they were spoilers. "These are journalists and should not be
allowed in. Where are you going?" one of them shouted before the
journalists faked saying they were going to an electronic shop on the
second floor. And in fear of being harmed, the journalists left the
place.
Meanwhile, shouts of praises and music emanated from the church as the
other worshipers went on with their businesses. The development came in
the wake of investigations that have been launched into claims of fraud.
For only Sh310, the pastor, who is now on every Kenyan's lips,
promised to cure all manner of diseases including HIV and Aids, find
jobs for the unemployed, and paraded different people who had allegedly
benefited from his miracles. Such a pity really what Kenyan worshipers
have to go through day in day out.
