A woman has caused a heated national debate after an exclusive interview in a viral Facebook video in which she exposed what she described as deceptive practices by some famous priests in Kenya.
In the video, which has been widely shared across social media platforms, the lady claims that she was hired for a long time to take part in staged church “miracles” meant to convince worshippers that people were being healed through prayer.
She alleges that the priests involved used desperate believers to build their reputation and attract large crowds, while secretly planning the so-called miracles in advance.
According to her account, she and several others were allegedly paid small amounts of money to pretend they were sick or disabled during church services.
She said the incidents were carefully organised, with those involved being instructed on where to sit, how to behave, and when to respond after prayers were offered on the altar.
One incident highlighted in the interview has shocked many Kenyans. The woman claimed that her own child was once hired and used during a church service. She said the child was taken to the altar and presented as someone who could not walk.
The priest allegedly prayed for a long time as the congregation watched closely. Moments later, the child stood up and walked, drawing loud celebrations from the crowd.
The woman claimed that after the service, the child was paid KSh1,000 for taking part in the act. She said this money was compensation for following instructions and maintaining the story during the service.
The revelations have sparked anger and disappointment among many Kenyans, especially devoted church members who believe in genuine healing and miracles.
Religious leaders and social commentators have since called for investigations, urging authorities to protect the public from exploitation in the name of faith.
As the video continues to circulate online, Kenyans are demanding accountability and honesty from religious institutions, warning that such claims, if proven true, could seriously damage public trust in the church.
