Chieni Supermarket Owner Begs Looters to Return Stolen Items: "Woke up Millionaire Went to Bed Poor"

 

Kieni MP Wainana Njoroge

Kieni MP Wainana Njoroge has asked looters to return fridges and ovens they took from his supermarket during a church service. Wainaina Njoroge asks church leaders to talk to looters and ask them to return his items. In June, thousands of angry youths in Nyeri county broke into Chieni Supermarket and stole goods worth millions of shillings. What did Kieni MP tell looters? Wainaina, speaking during a church gathering, told pastors that they were preaching to people who looted him dry. The politician said the looters had taken ovens and fridges, and he did not want to involve the police. "I'm the owner of Chieni supermarket. My goods were stolen by people that you preach for. Tell them something because in your homes are my fridges, ovens and washing machines. If it's possible, we don't want to involve the police, so ask them to return," he said. The MP rebuked the looters, stating that he did not feel like a Christian if Christians would keep his items. He painfully recalled his five-storey house being burnt down, saying that he slept as a millionaire and woke up as a poor man. "If my items remain in people's houses, then I don't feel any bit of Christianity in me, and now this is what we'll be learning that our things get stolen and we praise God. My 5-storey building was burnt down, and I woke up as a millionaire, but I went to bed a poor man. It is not right. It is not with God to burn people's homes. During COVID, I donated 3 lorries full of donations to help our people, and they turned on me in just one day. Ask people to return my things," Wainaina added.
