The family of Jayne Muthoni, the woman whose multi-billion apartment prophet David Owuor is accused to have taken over, claimed that Muthoni was brainwashed to appoint Lilly Macharia, a church member, as a co-director of her Shaba Investments Limited.
Macharia said Muthoni appointed her after she developed memory lapse. But the family said she has never experienced memory lapses and claimed she could have been placed under the influence of drugs that caused her memory loss.
But lawyer Okong’o Omogeni, in the demand letter, however, said his client has never brainwashed any member of his congregation. He said members join the church on their own accord and volition.
“It is not true as alleged that our client in any manner engaged in unethical conduct of acquiring its congregation’s properties.”
Omogeni said neither the church nor Owuor have ever taken or allocated themselves congregants’ properties to fund their activities.
“It is not true that the church has been involved in acts of stealing and or acquiring property illegally,” he said.
Omogeni said the DCI has neither summoned nor questioned Owuor in connection with the matter.
