Delivering his message to the community the self proclaimed high priest of Akorino sect urged Kenyans to repent failure to which the county will witness chaos .

Gachagua’s response
Meanwhile, the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has broken his silence following the disruption of a prayer event hosted by his wife.
Gachagua took to social media, accusing the government of orchestrating the incident by sending Njenga, whom he described as the leader of an outlawed criminal group, to sabotage the event.
“Unleashing the leader of an outlawed criminal gang and his goons to disrupt peaceful prayers and desecrate the altar, is the lowest any Government can go no matter the level of desperation,” he posted.
After the commotion, Njenga reportedly addressed the crowd, calling for an end to ethnic politics and urging national unity.
His visit marked his third in Nyeri within three weeks, raising questions about his involvement in the event.
The strained relationship between Gachagua and Njenga is widely believed to be fueled by their political rivalry, with differing views on leadership and influence within the Mt. Kenya region.
