Salasya Explained Circumstances That Led to Him Kneeling Before Prophet Owuor

Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has finally cleared the air regarding his recent appearance at a massive religious gathering.

Speaking on TV47 Kenya during a lively interview with Betty Kyallo, the lawmaker detailed what led him to the Menengai rally hosted by the controversial Prophet David Owuor.

The MP, known for his flamboyant style, was seen kneeling before the Prophet in Nakuru. The images sparked intense debate across social media. However, Salasya maintains that his actions were driven by a personal history of faith rather than political theatrics.

The Power of Prophecy

Salasya revealed that he does not view religious leaders with the same interrogation as the general public. To him, faith is a direct connection to the divine. He shared a personal story about his own leadership journey to illustrate his point.

In 2018, while still far from the corridors of power, Salasya says he made a bold prediction. "I prophesied to myself in 2018... I said I will be the MP in 2022," he told Betty Kyallo.

He believes that after claiming that dream through faith, he began working towards its manifestation.

"When you go to those meetings... it is about you and your faith. It is not really the person in the middle."

Kneeling Without Question

When asked why a high-ranking official would kneel in public, Salasya was unapologetic. He explained that if someone identifies as a preacher, he accords them respect regardless of their status.

He noted that he does not feel the need to investigate a man of God before receiving a prayer.

"Mimi hata wewe ukiniambia wewe ni preacher... nikupigie, mimi nitapiga... because my faith believes inaconnect direct,” he said.

He compared the Prophet to a vessel or a symbol, much like how different faiths use intermediaries to reach God. Salasya also drew on his own past, revealing that he was once a mission worker and a preacher.

He told the audience that he used to pray for students and witnessed what he described as the real power of the Holy Spirit.

Beyond the Altar: Development Stats

While his spiritual life remains a talking point, Salasya used the interview to highlight the progress in Mumias East. He argued that his "show of force" and PR stunts are balanced by real results on the ground.

Salasya describes himself as a multipurpose leader who balances comedy, politics, and prayer.He admits that he uses "mbwembwe" (pomp) to intimidate political rivals and excite his supporters.

"You cannot be in politics if you do not have PR. PR is important so that you are known."

Ultimately, the MP views his attendance at the Nakuru rally as a reflection of his personal belief system. He urged Kenyans to understand that spiritual matters are personal.
