The family of Jane Njagi, a former partner at J M Njagi Advocates firm has accused David Owuor’s Ministry of Holiness and Repentance of brainwashing their kin into becoming a bishop.
A representative of the Kings Outreach Church under Owuor ministry's, lawyer Kimani Watenga, told journalists that Njagi had become a bishop at the church and had retired from her law practice.
It is reported that Ms Njagi vacated her serviced apartment block located on Rahpta Road, Westlands and donated it to the church for Bible study.
Her family added that their sister was living with Lily Muthoni Macharia, a member of the church, who had appointed herself as the director of their kin's property.
Muthoni, however, told journalists that she was concerned that Njagi had become forgetful and was only overseeing her finances to keep her from being exploited.
Njagi's sister, Alice Macharia, expressed her family's frustrations revealing that her sister had been heavily guarded that she was even kept away from news of her mother’s death.
Guards at the Riverside Drive home kept Njagi's relatives away, claiming that she was asleep and could only be accessed through her personal assistant.
Her brother Duncan was allowed to give Njagi the news, but only after he showed up with their mother’s obituary that was published in the newspaper.
The family has accused the church of taking over their sister's home and turning it into its head office. They also claim that the church was using Ms Njagi's wealth to finance its activities.
The Kings Outreach Church has disputed the claims stating that it had no interest in the lawyer's properties and would vacate if she so wished.
