Renowned preacher and founder of Faith Evangelistic Ministry, Evangelist Teresia Wairimu, has openly expressed her dissatisfaction with how the Kenya Kwanza government is managing the country. During a sermon on Sunday, October 20, 2024, she shared her disappointment, particularly in light of the recent fallout between President William Ruto and the impeached former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Evangelist Wairimu, who had previously supported President Ruto in the 2022 elections, now regrets that decision due to the internal conflicts plaguing the government. Referring to the deteriorating relationship between Ruto and Gachagua, she lamented, “Until now, I have always thought that this government is a government of God because it is the one we voted for, but to our embarrassment, it is a government of fights.”
She expressed frustration that instead of addressing pressing issues such as the economy and healthcare, the government seemed preoccupied with endless power struggles. “Instead of us majoring in things that concern us (the economy and better health systems), you arm yourselves without giving us notice. We are also going to arm ourselves in prayer,” Evangelist Wairimu declared.
She also warned that the coming elections would not be easily won and called for accountability in leadership, adding, “In the next election, you’ll have to convince me. Somebody must go home. People must start going home.”
In a separate sermon, Apostle John Kimani William, Founder and Senior Pastor of Kingdom Seekers Fellowship, also spoke about the state of the government, reminding his congregation that the current administration had come into power through prayer and now faces divine judgment.
“Unajua hii serikali iliingia kwa utawala kwa maombi, na Mungu ndiye hakimu wa serikali hii. Kwa sababu wametumia kipimo cha kuhukumu, sasa wameweka kipimo cha kuhukumiwa, na utaona hukumu ya Mungu kwa sababu wamejiwekea kipimo wenyewe,” Apostle Kimani warned.
Following his discharge from Karen Hospital, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made a public statement addressing the situation.
He revealed how he narrowly escaped two attempts on his life, linking them to his impeachment and accusing President Ruto of ordering the withdrawal of his security during his health struggles.
Gachagua disclosed that attempts to poison him were made in Kisumu and Nyeri, attributing these incidents to the political tensions surrounding his impeachment.
“There have been two attempts to poison me, and I survived by the grace of God,” Gachagua said.
Amid this turmoil, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has been nominated to take over the office of Deputy President.
