The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has urged anyone with information that may lead to the conviction of Pastor Ken Gomeri who is accused of sexually taking advantage of young girls to report.
“If you have information and evidence relating to the same please send it to publiccomplaints@odpp.go.ke,” reads the post.
Barely a week after shocking revelations of sexual indecency allegations against two gospel musicians, Kenyans are being treated to another similar scandal. This time it is a youthful Kenyan “Pastor” Ken Gomeri who is being accused by a young lady for “preying” and taking advantage of young girls.
Through a twitter thread, Purity (@ndutaSs), alleges how Gomeri wanted to have sex with her during a mission trip. “So, June 2019,my friends (2 ex-choxxerians) and I go to TRM to buy dinner. If pastor Ken regularly went to your highschool then you definitely understand the respect we have for him. He’s that one pastor who’d come to preach and no one would sleep during service, ” starts her thread.
“He has unparalleled access to young girls through preaching in high schools, his holiday camp for teenagers (badilika camp) and his hockey coaching.Kids buy his motivational books and t-shirts. His Instagram name is Ken Gomeri, his camp name is Badilika fest (also has an IG page)”, Purity narrated.
So, I'm going to do a thread of our (me & 2 of my friends) experience with Pastor Ken Gomeri.
Please note that I'm not trying to discredit him or get him arrested, I'm just coming out with this story because our silence may have enabled him to take advantage of more girls
