Utanitafuta! Bishop Margaret Wanjiru warns Ruto over church raid
Former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Margaret Wanjiru has launched scathing criticism against President William Ruto following a recent raid on her Jesus Is Alive Ministries church.
The fiery cleric accused the Head of State and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, of betraying the church’s support for their leadership.
Addressing the incident, Wanjiru expressed deep disappointment, stating: “I want to say to our government and President William Ruto and our Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, we loved you, we voted for you, we supported you, but you’ve rewarded us with broken legs, arms, hurting bodies. You truly have rewarded us with evil.”
Wanjiru’s remarks come in the wake of a demolition of a section of her church located along Haile Selassie Highway on Wednesday, March 6.
“How many screams has Bishop Margaret Wanjiru had to make for one of you to respond and rescue us? Is this how you reward our hard work and labor for this government?” questioned Wanjiru, alleging that they were beaten and their phones snatched during the incident.
The former gubernatorial aspirant, accompanied by area Member of Parliament Amos Mwago, claimed the demolition was politically motivated but refrained from directly accusing any specific individual or group.
In a defiant stance, Wanjiru vowed to stand her ground, declaring, “From today, this Margaret Wanjiru that was beaten, my clothes were lifted up by young men who are police; they touched my thighs, a woman of God I want to make a sweet promise to you, believe you me you will look for me.”
She added:
“You went for Benny Hinn in America but for me, you will look for me and I am not moving and I am not going anywhere.
I will be here. You have started a fight that you cannot fight; this one is in the heavens.”
Armed police were present as the group brought down a wall.
“You are using the MD Railways. I pity is family because as I cried even his family plus yours are not exempted. My tears will pay,” she said.
