Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has questioned why his appearance at the ongoing Rhema Feast 2026 has not attracted the same attention as videos of him partying and drinking.
Salasya attended the third day of the Christian gathering at Uhuru Park, Nairobi, on Wednesday, September 2, where he challenged Kenyans to acknowledge his positive moments as much as they do his controversial or party-related appearances.
Speaking at the event, the legislator appeared to take issue with what he described as Kenyans’ tendency to remain silent when he attends church-related events, only becoming vocal when he is seen drinking or partying.

“Hapa hamuezi sema niko sawa na muniencourage niendelee, mumenyamaza tu. Wacha munipate kwa pombe ama kwa sherehe mahali sasa ndio museme yote ni sawa. Nishawajua.”
His remarks loosely translate to: “Here you can’t say I’m doing well and encourage me to continue; you just keep quiet. Wait until you find me drinking or at a party somewhere, then that’s when you say everything is fine. I already know you.”

Salasya urges politicians to repent.
In a video shared on Instagram on September 1, the MP said political leaders should regularly examine their actions and maintain their relationship with God.
“In politics, if you do not repent every time, you can go to hell for free, or you sin against God for free, and He hates you for free. That is why I will continue seeking Him any moment I get an opportunity.”
Salasya has also spoken positively about his experience at the Christian gathering, describing it as a meaningful encounter despite previously admitting that he is not particularly known for attending church regularly.
“There is nothing that humbles me like worship and being in the presence of God. Rhema Feast indeed is a blessing.”

“A divine encounter”
Earlier, after attending the event, Salasya described the experience as something that had touched him deeply, calling it a “divine encounter.”
The Rhema Feast 2026 is being held at Uhuru Park from August 31 to September 4, under the theme “Come, Let Us Rebuild.” The annual Christian gathering brings together worshippers for several days of worship, teaching and other activities.
The event is convened by Reverend Julian Kyula, whom Salasya has also praised for creating an opportunity for people to come together in worship.
