Rogue 'pastor' sweeps village of its maize harvest

Some 15 years ago, Kamara village in Molo suffered a blow after a fake pastor disappeared with the farmers' maize harvest in a bizarre series of events that left many shocked and angry. The preacher appeared sometime in June and somehow fitted himself into a small church that had less than 20 members at the time. He came in to preach every Sunday then left till the next weekend.

His sermons were always laced with lofty economic plans. He had a deep understanding of local and world politics and never missed a chance to excite residents with this knowledge.
