Drama as court documents in a Mwai Kibaki succession case unearths the unimaginable. Will Mwai Kibaki's legacy now be re-written?
It is important to take note of the fact that in these situations where people get exposed something very small goes wrong or somebody even a family makes a wrong decision and the consequences are devastating. like in this case for instance the secret daughter of Mwai Kibaki and the secret family, approached the Kibakis and told them; "We want to be included in the inheritance of Kibaki simply because his blood runs through the veins of our daughter. So can we settle this thing without having to take it to court?"
Well, the decision there was NO and that is why we are here today. In my opinion this information coming through the courts opens a can of worms that nobody would have wanted opened in keeping the legacy of their beloved father in this case Emilio Stanley Mwai Kibaki.
It emerges that in the late 50s when Mwai Kibaki was a student in the London School of economics in the United Kingdom he met this Kenyan lady and according to court documents this relationship thrived. And continued even after Kibaki had returned to Kenya. And in the Year 1961 this lady gave birth to a girl whose biological father she claims is Kibaki.
In a scathing tirade directed at everyone engaged in the attack on her church, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru cursed ALL the raiders from the altar of Jesus Is Alive Ministries. And most notably, William Ruto, and the Kenya Kwanza administration and their families.
Tell me what this means. What type of spiritual impact might we anticipate? Kenyans are contemplating that very question.
I received the email shortly after one of you sent it a little while ago, along with the video of her saying these things. And I immediately read the mind of the sender. This is what they were really saying; "When is this Ruto government going away?" "Chris does this curse by Margaret Wanjiru mean they'll be gone like yesterday, please confirm."
Laugh out loud! But I completely get it. This government's impact on Kenyans is something I'm familiar with. Raw sentiments of Ruto-must-go are so pervasive that it is impossible to ignore the outpouring of anti-administration sentiment.
There are very serious issues with the implosion of the Ruto administration that we will discuss.
In today's essay, I will explain everything in detail. I must caution you ahead of time that we will be discussing some serious and weighty topics. If you stick around, I'll give you the whole story and explain how this development will affect Kenyan politics moving forward. Furthermore, I find it particularly noteworthy that everything is transpiring so rapidly following Benny Hinn's huge crusade in Nairobi, Kenya.
However, let's begin this story from the very beginning. Gratitude for our parents is something that comes up in every conversation. Since blessings are not curses, what do we mean when we say "I want the blessings of my parents? What we mean is that you should do everything in your power to prevent having your parents curse you in this life. They should bless you and your life through their words.
People are fascinating because almost all of us care deeply about parental blessings, but when someone brings up a topic like this—where someone spoke at a church and cursed—we don't give a hoot.
That brings us to our first and foremost point: if we wish to comprehend this subject, we must comprehend this. An authoritative figure must pronounce curses and blessings. By the grace of God Almighty, your parents have been given control over you. What they say about your life is crucial since they are the ones who got you here and have power over you. What we say to our children has a profound impact on them, and this is especially true for parents. You should use caution if your child consistently irritates you. Take a moment to relax before you speak. Your child's future may be severely impacted by your careless words spoken in a moment of rage. Contrary to popular belief, words are objects. Words have substance. Words are powerful.
I need your patience as I tell you a story; this is crucial. In addition to finding out what's going to happen politically, we'll also be able to use this information to save ourselves a lot of trouble in our own lives.
At one point in my life, I was attending a church where I was taught many profound spiritual truths. There, I overheard a man talking about how his wife had cursed him. He had become rather wealthy as a loader for a truck, but as his fortune grew, he began to neglect his loved ones, including his wife and children. Upon returning from a lengthy vacation, his next activity would be to amuse himself with acquaintances, including women. They continued to wait for him at home, while he was completely oblivious to the fact that there was no food.
Plus, he hated it when people got in the way of his enjoyment. Oh, how his beloved wife broke down in tears one day and said, "You don't care about us, we were happy before you obtained the job, but now we're truly suffering because of it. You leave no food behind. The majority of your substantial funds are spent at the bar with your girlfriends, while a small portion is sent. These tears I'm feeling for you will be your tears of frustration because you're hungry and you'll lose this job forever. And you will experience the anguish that I am presently experiencing.
He continued working for a few more months before finally losing his job, but he shrugged it off and had another drink. However, he remained unconcerned because he had established connections and believed he could secure another job in no time. Interestingly, though, not a single employer seemed interested in hiring him.
By the time I transferred from that church, this man had been through deliverance, repentance, prayer, and more. His wife had also repented. But still, he never landed a new job, despite fastingetc. He would never again encounter such large sums of money. His wife had spoken it word for word. His wife actually cursed him.
Ladies, exercise extreme caution; as a wife, you have the power to bless or curse your husband. You and your husband are one, so realize that cursing him is really cursing yourself. Who anyone felt the pinch when this man's employment was cut and he ran out of money? Mom, dad, and the kids. Guess who has no choice but to get a job and hunt for a way to make ends meet? The spouse. Actually, I think the man was hurt, but the curse-uttering wife was hurt even worse.
Now that we have the quick backdrop, let's get to the story of Bishop Margaret Wanjiru. Kenyans, it seems, have grown increasingly casual in their dealings with so-called "Servants of God" in recent years. I got someone's point the other day when they were quite unhappy at a video I made on Benny Hinn's campaign in the country. They wanted me to criticize Benny Hinn harshly, bring attention to the scandals surrounding his church, and point out his mistakes. I acknowledge that I lack the authority to do it, which is a blessing in and of itself.
Anyone, regardless of their spirituality, should exercise extreme caution around "Servants of God" and those who claim to be part of that group. They are spiritually authoritative, that much is clear. Regardless of whether they veered from the path. Even if they got out to a good start, they eventually let their passion for wealth and this life lead them astray. You should still proceed with caution if it occurred while they are still in office.
In the Bible, there lived a guy named Eli. Almighty God was so furious with him. Eli served as a priest in the temple. Eli provoked a weeping woman who had come into the sanctuary. "Why are you acting inappropriately in God's house? By now, you're probably inebriated. Looks like you've had a few too many drinks. And Hannah, a lowly woman, pleaded with the fallen man of God, saying, "No, I'm not drunk. I am crying to God Almighty because I have never given birth to a child." Her name was Hannah. Eli blessed her. "Go in peace, and may God Almighty grant you your request." And the woman who had been mocked and termed barren for so long became pregnant and gave birth to a son very quickly after. It was inevitable that the young man would go on to become a major prophet. Samuel was his name.
Even if you think they've fallen, ogopa (fear) the men of God. You should stay out of the issue since you lack authority so long as they are alive and in office.
It was within the confines of an altar that Bishop Margaret Wanjiru uttered those words. Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke those hurtful words... OGOPA.
Words shouted from an altar are the subject of another little narrative, if you will pardon me. In 2000, a prominent Nigerian church made its maiden voyage into Kenya. I have long been a follower and admirer of the church's founder. Additionally, a wife gave a plot of land to the new ministry so that they might construct a church on it without first contacting her husband or reaching an agreement with him.
The congregation also went out and bought some mabatis, which are corrugated iron sheets, to erect a makeshift building while they planned to erect a permanent one. However, the land that was donated to the church was extremely valuable. The land was prime commercial, therefore the owners and someone close to them decided to dissuade the church from using it. They recruited thugs to harass, assault, and steal the iron sheets and other valuables that had already been bought in an effort to scare them away from the site.
Upon his return, the pastor of that church took his Bible and cursed everyone responsible for bringing the Church of Almighty God tumbling downhill. One of the key figures associated with this plot of property happens to be someone I know personally. When I first began my publishing business, he was really helpful and supportive. He had generously offered me the use of his office at no cost. I was greatly assisted by him. His name was David Kimani Kongo.
Only moments after that prayer of curses was spoken, David Kimani Kongo and Kuria wa Gathoni, the director of planning at the Nairobi City council at the time, were taken into custody and accused of the murder of Charles Sosah, a Ghanaian man. Kimani Kongo spent three arduous years inside while his case dragged on because, back then, a murder charge in Kenya was not bailable, but I felt in my heart that he was innocent. Until your case was resolved, you were required to serve jail time if you were accused of murder. Just now I learned the sad news that my long-lost buddy Kimani Kongo has passed away, and it has devastated me. He died on February 5, 2022, to be exact. Only four days after my wife's funeral. However, I did not come across that knowledge until today, while researching for this post.
Whatever the case may be, altar curses are dangerous.
Essential political points here
I think it's important that we pay attention to a few crucial details.
1. The timing, so close to the end of the Benny Hinn crusade, is quite suspicious. To top it all off, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru was an integral part of the Kenyan organizing team for Benny Hinn's mega-crusade. Furthermore, I find it extremely hard to deny that this is a sign from God confirming the success or lack of it, of the crusade and its role in restoring Kenya.
2. We have stated the following on the Kumekucha Chris channel multiple times. The Kenya Kwanza administration will fall not due to outside interference but rather internal strife. Conflicts within Ruto's own party will ultimately lead to his downfall. As this narrative of Margaret Wanjiru cursing exemplifies.
Others see this as divine retribution from the supreme being. The Kenyan church brought in a president who was actually a wolf hiding among sheep, therefore now the church is in the dock. They did what they wanted without asking God for a clear direction and it is now judgement time.
The only thing I can say about that view is that we should wait and watch since I have a hard time arguing against that viewpoint. Simply said, everyone will be able to recognize this for what it is as time goes on.
Once again something has unfolded in Kenya that is a first. Bishop Margaret Wanjiru, a founding member of the UDA party (a day after her church was raided) lashes out at her own party leader William Ruto and even tearfully declares that her pain and tears will be paid for.
What does it all mean?
===
A growing problem of people disobeying court rulings and occupying private property without permission has emerged in Kenya. It is deeply troubling that top police officers and goons openly disobey court rulings and demonstrate a pervasive sense of impunity.
Most land disputes in Kenya center on thugs acting on the orders of powerful people and illegally occupying private property. Lands that have been contested are seized by these thugs using rudimentary weapons.
The Worrying Trend of Land Grabbing Has Escalated During Ruto Administration
Cartels are frequently blamed for faking land titles and deceiving ordinary Kenyans, adding fuel to the fire of the country's mounting land grabbing crisis. The continued unlawful occupation of these lands by the thugs, in spite of court orders and verdicts supporting the legitimate owners, casts doubt on the efficacy of the country's judicial system.
Going Against Court Orders
A major obstacle to the administration of justice in Kenya is the disobedience of legal directives by senior police officials. A disturbing degree of impunity has been displayed by the police force, headed by senior officers, as they have persistently disregarded many court decisions ordering the removal of the unlawful inhabitants.
Important People's Involvement
Some high-profile cases involving famous persons, including members of parliament, and these land conflicts have recently surfaced. Claiming that cartels have taken over the property, they frequently lead mobs of goons in destroying buildings on disputed areas.
Judiciary Function
Because its directives have been flagrantly disregarded, the court, which is tasked with maintaining the rule of law, has found itself in a difficult position. Judges have stepped away from cases on multiple occasions due to the disregard for their instructions.
Horror: The Nakuru War Memorial Hospital Scandal
This type of disagreement is exemplified by the Nakuru War Memorial Hospital case. A private company and the Nakuru County Government got into an argument over the 25-acre plot of land where the hospital is located, close to Eldoret Airport. The county government asserted that the ownership papers were counterfeit and seized control of the hospital in spite of court rulings that had gone in favor of the private company.
Influential Politicians' Role
Notable political personalities have stepped forward to counter the growing land disputes. Their decisions, however, appear to occasionally benefit the illegal inhabitants, which only serves to inflame the tensions. Despite their good intentions, these political interventions frequently make matters worse rather than better in the end.
The Police's Central Function
Particularly unsettling is the police force's involvement in these conflicts. Not following the law, but senior cops have been seen supporting the illegal squatters, ignoring court orders, and adding fuel to the fire of impunity.
Victims' Tragedies
People who are rightfully supposed to possess the land end up being the ones who suffer the most as a result of these land disputes, which are caused by illegal occupations. They are unable to stop the widespread impunity and are left to witness the unlawful occupation of their properties, even though they have legitimate ownership documents and court decisions that support their position.
Ensuring Appropriate Enforcement
Given the current state of affairs, it is imperative that court decisions be duly enforced and that individuals exhibiting impunity face severe consequences. To preserve legitimate landowners' rights and maintain the rule of law, the Kenyan government, judicial system, and police force must collaborate.
It is critical that Kenya's land issues be resolved without delay; the current climate of impunity is intolerable. Factors adding fuel to the fire include high-profile people' participation, the police's activity, and the disobedience of court orders. Strict action is needed by the Kenyan government to address this matter, maintain peace and order, and safeguard the rights of its inhabitants.

The county government asserted that the ownership papers were counterfeit and seized control of the hospital in spite of court rulings that had gone in favor of the private company.
Influential Politicians' Role
Notable political personalities have stepped forward to counter the growing land disputes. Their decisions, however, appear to occasionally benefit the illegal inhabitants, which only serves to inflame the tensions. Despite their good intentions, these political interventions frequently make matters worse rather than better in the end.
The Police's Central Function
Particularly unsettling is the police force's involvement in these conflicts. Not following the law, but senior cops have been seen supporting the illegal squatters, ignoring court orders, and adding fuel to the fire of impunity.
Victims' Tragedies
People who are rightfully supposed to possess the land end up being the ones who suffer the most as a result of these land disputes, which are caused by illegal occupations. They are unable to stop the widespread impunity and are left to witness the unlawful occupation of their properties, even though they have legitimate ownership documents and court decisions that support their position.
Ensuring Appropriate Enforcement
Given the current state of affairs, it is imperative that court decisions be duly enforced and that individuals exhibiting impunity face severe consequences. To preserve legitimate landowners' rights and maintain the rule of law, the Kenyan government, judicial system, and police force must collaborate.
It is critical that Kenya's land issues be resolved without delay; the current climate of impunity is intolerable. Factors adding fuel to the fire include high-profile people' participation, the police's activity, and the disobedience of court orders. Strict action is needed by the Kenyan government to address this matter, maintain peace and order, and safeguard the rights of its inhabitants.
Bishop Margaret Wanjiru: A Life of controversies and drama
Bishop Margaret Wanjiru, has found herself in the limelight several times over the years, often shrouded with plenty of drama and controversy.
A life worthy of a best-selling biography
Born in the early 60s, Margaret Wanjiru has lived a life worthy of a best-selling biography. Her early life, however, remains largely shrouded in mystery, with little information available about her upbringing and educational background.
Margaret Wanjiru's journey into ministry began when she founded the Jesus Is Alive Ministries, a church located along the Haile Selassie Highway in Nairobi. Over the years, she has served as the presiding bishop of the church.
Political Aspirations
Wanjiru's political journey started in 2007 when she vied for the Starehe parliamentary seat on an ODM (Orange Democratic Movement) ticket. Her victory marked the start of a political career that would see her serve as Housing Assistant Minister from 2008 to 2013.
In 2013, she unsuccessfully ran for the Nairobi senatorial seat, marking a temporary setback in her political career.
Marriage drama
Wanjiru was once married to James Kamangu, and the union was blessed with three children.
In 2008 Mr Kamangu emerged publicly demanding his conjugal rights from Wanjiru, the woman he claimed he was still married to. A Kumekucha blog post at the time sheds more light on this;

Who Killed James Kamangu?
I received numerous alerts and SMS messages to the effect that James “went to court to get his conjugal rights back from Televangelist Margaret Wanjiru” Kamangu was dead.
The news spread like wildfire around town and the country at large long before any news media had reported it. On many people’s minds were some unspoken questions which I will dare voice here.
Was Kamangu killed by the God of Bishop Hon. Margaret Wanjiru for trying to frustrate her and her work for God? Especially when the woman of God was looking for happiness in marriage?
Or was Kamangu’s death something to do with the fact that the good Bishop admits that she used to be a serious witch who made a certain woman who annoyed her go insane?
Mostly those who fear God will be asking the first question while those who do not will be asking the second.
Was Kamangu’s death an ordinary death for a man who was said to have loved his changaa a wee bit too much before fortune shone on his door and money poured in from still mysterious sources which changed his life even as he was thrust into national limelight? Or does his death have something to do with him getting mixed up with people whom the good book warns we should not point fingers to?
Suspicion was further raised by a clip shown on the TV news last night of the deceased man's angry brother storming his residence to try and find answers of why Kamangu had died so suddenly and under such mysterious circumstances.
His current wife (how was he going to get conjugal rights from the Bishop when he has another woman?) says that the man complained of abdominal pains and was rushed to a nearby clinic where he was promptly referred to Kenyatta National Hospital. She took him there and he was admitted and she went back home. Only to return the next morning to be told that her husband was no more. Sources close to the late Kamangu say that he suffered from ulcers for a long time. But stomach ulcers ordinarily do NOT kill people. And surely not as suddenly as the way in which Kamangu expired.
Well we also know that in many African cultures people do not die. They are killed. Even when they are over 100 years old and with every bone and organ in the body creaking for rest.
Whatever you think of this post, one thing is for sure. As the civilized, well educated Kumekucha readers read this post and laugh their heads off in sarcasm, ordinary folks in villages, small illicit brew dens and women cutting sukuma wiki next to smelly, overflowing drainage in some slum, are busy this minute discussing and speculating on one question; who killed James Ndimu Kamangu?
P.S. I have just remembered that the good Bishop spoke some deadly words about conducting the funeral of Kamangu when he was still alive. That will surely add fuel to the already burning fire. Ama?
