Published on October 25, 2019, a worrying trend has been observed in the rise of fake pastors and self-proclaimed prophets who prey on desperate citizens seeking heavenly blessings.

One such individual is Prophet Dr Owuor, who has been in the scene for a while now with a huge following. His celebrity status was heightened after a woman identified as Mama Rosa was reportedly brought back to life, an incident that has been disputed.

Dr Owuor's methods have been criticized for using emotional manipulation to gain a following. He has been accused of using people's weakness to his advantage, leading to the loss of life and property.

Despite numerous exposés, Dr Owuor's influence seems to be growing, with his followers being taught to avoid earthly pleasures while he lives a lavish lifestyle, owning beautiful houses and driven with security detail.

As the Constitution allows freedom of worship, it is essential to address the issue of fake pastors and self-proclaimed prophets who take advantage of the vulnerability of others to get wealth.

It is time to question how Dr Owuor's followers are being taught to live modestly while he enjoys a life of luxury.
