Speaking passionately before the audience, the preacher did not hold back as he criticised leaders who, he claimed, were interfering with the unity of the Akorino community.
His remarks, delivered partly in Swahili, appeared to target political figures perceived to be pushing their own interests.
“Hatutaki yule anakuja katikati yetu na mtu wa kutusaidia,” the preacher declared firmly.
“We do not want someone to come between us and the person helping us,” he added, sending murmurs through the audience.
The blunt message stunned many in attendance and immediately sparked murmurs across the gathering. Some members of the audience appeared surprised by the direct nature of the remarks, especially given the sensitive political environment surrounding recent engagements between religious leaders and politicians.
Although the preacher did not give a lengthy explanation during the brief but intense address, his comments were widely interpreted as criticism directed at Rigathi Gachagua.
The remarks hinted at deeper tensions over leadership influence within religious circles and political alliances.
The Akorino community has historically played a notable role in Kenya’s political and spiritual landscape, often hosting leaders during prayer events and national gatherings. Such meetings usually focus on unity and faith, making the sharp criticism particularly striking.
Clips from the moment quickly began circulating online, with many viewers debating the meaning behind the preacher’s words and whether the message reflected wider dissatisfaction within sections of the faith community.
So far, Rigathi Gachagua has not publicly responded to the remarks. However, the unexpected confrontation has already stirred conversations about the relationship between politics and religious leadership.
