A video doing the rounds on social media has started a debate, with Kenyans arguing about the limits of spreading the gospel versus the invasion of privacy. A woman confronted a pastor who entered her home. The undated video shows a Kenyan woman confronting a preacher for entering her compound without consent. The footage starts with the woman exiting her house and recording the man standing inside her gate, in front of her parked vehicle. Did preacher invade woman’s privacy? The man spoke inaudibly before the woman responded. “What word of God?” she asked him. The soft-spoken middle-aged man was neatly dressed in a shirt, tie, and half sweater, and carried a suitcase. “How does a preacher open the gate for himself and enter?” she asked him. The camera slightly panned to show that the man was accompanied by a woman with a head wrap. “(I opened the gate) because you were not near,” the man explained.
The owner of the house told him off. “I don’t want God’s word.” The man then started leaving the compound, with the woman reprimanding him for entering the compound without consent. “How do you get in without permission, then tell me you want to share God’s word? No, I don’t want. Bye,” she said. The two of them left, and the woman closed the gate behind them with a click. The incident divided Kenyans, with some saying that the woman was right since it was her private property.
