Maybe the reason he doesn’t have to ask for sadaka is because wealthy politicians like Raila are already “oiling” him up and in this respect maybe he has already figured out a niche, which is, don’t take from the poor if you can fool the rich just as easily.

Lakini I’m surprised Raila was not saved all this time? I’m sure I’ve seen a picture or Rev. Dr. Margaret Wanjiru praying for him.

I think your article touches on the Idea of prosperity gospel. Which has become a trend in Kenya.

Prosperity gospel simply means the pastor makes the most amount of money from the congregation by cherry picking verses in the Bible that allude to the notion that prosperity equals to being rich with money and properties.

You see their are many Interpretations of similar verses in the same Bible. Its hard to even reach a specific conclusion on what some of them really mean owing to the different interpretations.

My gripe is really simple. Religious leaders need to stop doing this open robbery of poor followers without adding any value in their lives. I remember once a pastor asked the congregation to put seed money and watch their lives get changed. People flocked to the front with Ksh 1,000 to Ksh 5,000. The people genuinely wanted to see their lives changed. But the question is did they get the value for their money ?

I know their are good churches in Nairobi and In Kenya in General but some of them are just money making outfits.

I know for one that his muslim supporters are not happy about this.
