Renowned Evangelist Teresiah Wairimu has publicly expressed her disappointment with the Kenya Kwanza administration. Pst Teresiah Wairimu Criticises Gov't for Failing Kenyans Months After She Endorsed It.In a passionate and emotional sermon during the Sunday service, she accusing them of neglecting the needs of the people. Wairimu lamented the current leadership's failure to address critical national issues such as the economy and taxation. She added that they are focusing on what she termed as "unimportant matters" while Kenyans continue to suffer.  Wairimu, who had previously endorsed President William Ruto as a divinely chosen leader, now admits her faith in the government has waned.

 "I was convinced this was a God-chosen government," she confessed during her address. "Instead of dealing with important issues like the economy and taxes, they are handling other things," she stated, her tone marked by frustration and concern. Wairimu's critical stance marks a significant departure from her earlier position as one of the pastors who fervently supported Ruto's presidential bid. At the time, she, alongside other religious leaders, maintained that God had revealed Ruto as His chosen leader for Kenya. Now, she acknowledges that the church has learned from its "painful" mistakes and vows to make necessary changes moving forward. 

Her remarks come at a politically turbulent time, following the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.  Gachagua, who was in hospital during the impeachment, left many in shock and confusion. This was compounded by emotional images of his wife, Pastor Dorcas, crying as he was discharged from the hospital and returned home. The evangelist’s criticisms reflect growing dissatisfaction among sections of the church as the government faces increasing scrutiny over its performance amidst rising economic challenges
