The Ministry of Interior has given Evangelical pastor, Prophet David Owuor a 24-hour ultimatum to submit the names of disabled individuals he claims to have healed during his Menengai Crusade in Nakuru, Kenya. The names of individuals living with disabilities are to be removed from the government’s database. However, two weeks have passed since the request was first made, and Owuor has yet to provide a single name or valid address to back his claims.
The controversy erupted after Owuor, widely known for his Evangelical ministries, publicly stated that he had healed several people with disabilities during the crusade, which took place at the Nakuru Showgrounds. These claims quickly garnered attention, with Owuor asserting that numerous individuals had been miraculously cured during the event.
In response, the government has asked the pastor to provide the names of those he purportedly healed, along with the necessary documentation to validate the healings, such as medical records and other proof. This request, however, has raised concerns about the authenticity of Owuor’s statements. Many have questioned whether the healings were genuine or if they were part of a staged publicity stunt.
The government’s action has sparked a wave of apprehension, particularly among the disabled community in Kenya. If Owuor’s claims are found to be false, there are fears that individuals with disabilities could be unjustly removed from the government’s assistance programme. Many people rely on this support for essential services, including medical care, mobility aids, and other forms of assistance.
In response to the government’s request, Owuor has not made a public statement, but his lawyer has assured that the pastor is willing to cooperate with the Ministry and provide the requested information. The situation has become a matter of national concern, with both sides awaiting clarity on the veracity of the healing claims.
The implications of this issue go beyond just the pastor’s credibility. If the claims are proven to be unfounded, there could be significant consequences for the disabled community, many of whom fear losing the support they depend on for daily survival.
