Prophet David Owuor’s dramatic claims of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) healings at his Nakuru crusade have drawn sharp scrutiny, as Kenya’s medical regulator, Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC), condemned the assertions as unverified and vowed action pending an ongoing probe.
The Repentance and Holiness Church, led by Prophet Dr. David Owuor, has unveiled what it claims to be documented evidence of thirty individuals healed from HIV, just days after concluding its annual end-of-year crusade in Nakuru.
The two-day crusade, dubbed Menengai 8, was held on December 30 and 31, 2025, at the Menengai Grounds in Nakuru. Thousands of worshippers attended, many dressed in white garments, as the prophet delivered his message of repentance and holiness.
The event was preceded by a grand reception on December 29, 2025, when Owuor arrived in Nakuru to a jubilant welcome from his followers.
On January 2, 2026, church officials presented stacks of files said to contain medical documentation proving that thirty people had been healed of HIV. During the announcement, Prophet Owuor stood at a podium flanked by men and women in white medical coats, symbolizing the involvement of healthcare professionals in verifying the claims.
The presentation was framed as “evidence on paper,” intended to silence critics and affirm the church’s long-standing assertions of miraculous healings.
Background on Prophet Owuor
Prophet Dr. David Owuor, once a trained scientist, abandoned his academic career in 2003 after claiming a divine call to preach repentance.
His ministry, headquartered in Nakuru, has grown into one of Kenya’s most visible religious movements, drawing tens of thousands to annual crusades.
Known for his dramatic style and prophetic pronouncements, Owuor’s gatherings often feature testimonies of healing from blindness, paralysis, and chronic illnesses.
While his followers hail him as a messenger of God, critics question the authenticity of the miracles and warn against conflating faith with medical science.
The latest HIV healing claims are expected to reignite debate among medical professionals, religious leaders, and policymakers.
The Nakuru Crusade
The Nakuru crusade has become a spiritual spectacle, transforming the city into a hub of religious activity each December. Local businesses benefit from the influx of visitors, while the faithful describe the gatherings as moments of divine visitation.
This year’s crusade carried a strong message of national repentance, with Owuor urging Kenyans to turn away from sin and prepare for the return of Christ.
New Development: KMPDC Condemnation
On January 3, 2026, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) publicly condemned the faith-based healing claims made at Prophet Owuor’s Nakuru crusade.
The council stated that the alleged HIV healings remain unverified and vowed to take action once its ongoing probe is complete. KMPDC emphasized that medical claims must be backed by independent scientific scrutiny, warning against misleading the public with unsubstantiated evidence.
This development has intensified the debate, placing the church’s announcement under official investigation. While Owuor’s followers continue to celebrate the claims as proof of divine power, the medical fraternity insists that only rigorous verification can determine the authenticity of the alleged healings.
