Renowned televangelist and self declared Prophet, Dr. David Owuor, has done it again, this time spoiling Christmas plans for Luos in Kisumu and those who had wished to visit the lakeside city for the December holiday.
This is after he booked all hotels in the city in preparation for New Year’s prayer meetings for the whole week beginning on 28th of December, leaving Luos with no place to celebrate.
Speaking yesterday, Pastor Gilbert Kimutai of the Kisumu Alter of the Repentance and Holiness Church, confirmed that they had booked all the main hotels in Kisumu for a week.
He noted that Prophet Owuor shelled out millions of shillings to book all major hotels in town for his guests, including those from Diaspora.
“We are expecting more than 600 international guests to join us for the prayers in Kisumu. We also expect hundreds of thousands of locals to attend,” said Pastor Kimutai.
Preparations are in full gear at the venue as Dr. Owour’s followers are working round the clock to make the Kibos Prayer Grounds accessible by the expected faithful. Roads to the venue will be swept a day before the prayers start.
Owuor’s new stunt is likely to elicit a new debate concerning his sources of wealth as no one knows for sure where he gets all the money that allows him to live large and roll like a king while he never collects money and offertories from his crusades.

On a SAD Note
A pastor set himself on fire in his Nairobi house on Tuesday upon learning he would not be in Prophet Owuor's convoy to a crusade in Kisumu.
Police said preliminary investigations showed pastor Fred Otieno attempted suicide after he was assigned duty in Kibos ahead of Owuor's trip on Wednesday.
A security officer and reverend only identified as Gitonga said he noticed smoke emanating from Otieno's house at Runda Mumwe estate, gate 128.
"We rushed there and found the pastor [who serves at Kings Outreach Ministries] unconscious in his bedroom." he told officers from Kiambu police station.
Kiambu police boss Steven Ng'etich said Otieno's clothes were in a heap that was on fire and that a 13-kg gas cylinder was on.
Ng'etich said the pastor suffered burns to the legs, hands and forehead in the 10am incident but is in stable condition at Kenyatta National Hospital.
Thousands of Christians are expected to attend the New Year prayers going on until January 4. Some 1,200 police officers were to be deployed to keep guard.
In 2014, more than 10,000 people, including those from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Europe, attended Owuor's gathering in Kisumu.
