| Pastor Tony Kiamah (L) with Ben Kiengei (R) |
The River of God church’s lead pastor, Tony Kiamah, has called out Bishop Ben Kiengei following the online accusations he has been facing. Kiengei found himself in hot soup after allegations against him surfaced online, and he got into altercations with influencers. During a recent interview, Kiengei made hurtful comments towards TikToker Pritty Vishy that went viral. The video caused a stir on social media, with Pritty getting wind of the clip and calling out the preacher. Why Bishop Kiengei should step down She later vowed to visit the preacher for a service in his church, saying that she wanted him to tell her the ‘insults’ to her face. While addressing concerns on TikTok, Kiamah wondered who ordained Kiengei and asked why he was bringing shame to the body of Christ.
“Whoever ordained Bishop Kiengei, umetuangusha (you have disappointed us). A bishop is an overseer. Literally, he is bringing shame to the church and the body of Christ. Because when a pastor falls he drags the church and the name of Christ in the mud. You have disappointed us. This is some of the reasons why the government wants to regulate the church of Kenya,” he said. Kiamah said he was saddened by what he heard about Kiengei and maintained that he should be kicked out if he failed to show remorse. “You should step down and go into discipline. Whoever ordained this man should fold his sleeve, take this man and disciple him. Let him sit under you for a year, and then you walk through the pain of restoration because we serve a God of second chances.
Let’s kick nonsense out of church,” he added. Watch the video below: Here are some of the comments from social media users: @pabloh_kissinger said: “It takes courage to talk the truth.
