Bishop, doctor, (former honorable) Margaret Wanjiru is a renowned televangelist in Kenya. She preaches in her own church, Jesus Is Alive Ministries, located on Haile Selassie Avenue, Nairobi. Being a former Member of Parliament for Starehe constituency, and runner-up in the Nairobi senatorial post in the 2013 election, she definitely qualifies to be called a prominent politician. In her own words, she also runs multiple businesses, including logistics and public transportation.
With such an elaborate profile, Bishop Wanjiru is an opinion leader with immense influence. Her words, spoken in public, have the potential of being taken literally by her ardent supporters and admirers, both political and religiously. She therefore carries the burden, just like all other public figures should do, of making sure she weighs her language and only present to the public issues which are factual.
