Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale now wants prophet David Owuor of the Repentance and Holiness Ministry to be investigated.
Speaking on Thursday, April 27 during Citizen TV’s Daily Break show Khalwale stated the government should investigate churches before things get out of hand.
“I want to question people like Owuor. I have seen that bishop given security akin to the Head of State. Those are the conversation we are supposed to commit ourselves to if we are going to unlock this thing. You cannot wait until things get out of hand before you start talking about it. Now that I have mentioned Owuor I am going to be bashed the whole day,” said Khalwale.
