A controversial American preacher has claimed that God sent swarms of locusts to Kenya as a punishment for runaway corruption.
Rick Wiles, a far-right conspiracy theorist and non-denominational senior pastor at Flowing Streams Church in Florida, claims that he was forced to pay a bribe while doing charity work in Kenya.
“I had sent well-drilling rigs to Kenya where they are dying of thirst, and I was trying to dig wells for them to give water to them, at the port of Mombasa I was told I had to pay a Sh8 million charity tax, it was sad,” Wiles said during an interview with Trunews.
65-year-old Wiles added that of all the countries he has toured, Kenya was the most corrupt and deceptive, noting that the current locust invasion, which is reported to be the worst in Kenya in 70 years, is a plague sent as retribution for corruption sins.
“There are stages of judgment and Kenya has had a drought. Now it’s going into famine, God sends punishments in different ways, I’m not surprised that there are locusts swarms in Kenya right now,” he said.
Further to this, he compared the locusts’ invasion in Kenya with the Coronavirus outbreak in China and other parts of the world, saying that God is sending plagues to sinful nations.
He alleged that the virus started in China because of the “godless communist government that persecutes Christians and forced abortions”, adding that the “death angel” could soon visit the US.
“When we choose not to bend our knees, Then the Lord cranks up the pressure, look at what’s happening in Kenya and what’s happening to America, it’s also what’s happening in China,” he added.
Wiles is the founder of the Dallas-based Trunews, a Christian ministry known for promoting racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. During the Obama regime, Trunews caused a stir after it claimed that Obama was ‘a devil from hell’ who was waging a ‘Jihadist war’ against the US from the comfort of the White House.
Good thing is that this fake…
Good thing is that this fake pastor did not tell us to which God he prays. He is letting us judge from is words,and previous actions.
Secondly, which Kenyan pastors agree with him?
@maxiley-the love of money…
@maxiley-the love of money and material things by Kenyan preachers may sway most of them to side with the satanic message from the devil white preacher! They will even call it a prophesy even when they are being humiliated.
I abhor corruption, but this is not the moment for a “white” preacher to take a cheap shot at Kenyans. Those who steal from our country, our people are the enablers to preachers and folks like these who are driven by the hate of the black people.
I wonder what is DP Ruto’s take in all this nonsense! These are the same folks the DP is taking the stolen money to in the name working for the Lord. Very selfish indeed!
The local preachers will join hands with the demon possessed white preacher to tell Kenyans that the white witch doctor is right as long as they can get money stuffed in their throats by this rotten preacher.
This is the worst humiliation Kenyans can tune their humble ears to; it is an abomination, it is deeply wrong! This preacher must apologize to all Kenyans for making such a sweeping and ignorant statement!
@ Maina, you are correct. I…
@ Maina, you are correct. I posed that question mindful that there are some Kenyans who will agree with this fake pastor just because he is a Mzungu.Remember who some Kenyans were excited when some mzungu landed in Kenya apparently “resembling” Jesus?
I always say ,blind faith is dangerous.Question.Question,Question. Let what they are saying at least make some sense to a reasonable fellow.
When mzungu was enslaving africans,and looting their resources ,which many would consider an abomination were they punished and how? Looks like they were rewarded…
I honestly dont think that this fake pastor even believes what he is saying. He is full of hate that’s all.
What makes him the interpreter of what God’s actions are?
@maxiley – the sickening…
@maxiley – the sickening colonial mentality still lingers in Kenya 58 years after our forefathers/mother’s fought so hard to liberate Kenya from the yolks of colonialism!
The negative influence the white settlers/preachers left behind still hovers in the air like a bad ghost spirit.
The most unfortunate thing is that many Kenyans willingly consume that nonsense, just like they get inebriated from consuming Chagaa! Sadly Some Kenyans still laugh when a white fella defalcates in their emotions through coined insults.
No wonder this white American bigoted preacher has the audacity to insult all of us while gleaning like a mad man! I can assure you that this fool does not know where Kenya is situated on the world MAP.
Even Lucifer himself won’t utter these kinds of cursing words! What a disgraceful idiot!!
@Maxiley you’re so Heathen…
@Maxiley you’re so Heathen and Immoral; so Careless and Heartless toward the Children of God in Kenya that Corruption has been Maiming andeven Killing every day. You’re so Hell bent for Devil-for-Evil.
@guest1,2,3 &4!, @maxiley…
@guest1,2,3 &4!, @maxiley never said he like the level of corruption in Kenya today! And if you read what he said above, @guest1, you are just agreeing with a bigoted whit dude simply because he is white!
And so, you will continue to eat the white vomits as they call your country, shit-hole, and locust infested simply because of your skin color. The very dark and beautiful skin you possess! And while at it, I hope you are tall but very foolish!
Had this preacher said to Black Americans something similar to what he is saying about Kenya, he would have been senselessly beaten up! Them brothers don’t take too much feces!!
I forgive you because you don’t know any better!
@Maina,if you ever run for a…
@Maina,if you ever run for a political position,be assured for un weavering support.Just let me know
@maxiley – I’m just a issues…
@maxiley – I’m just a issues based guy! I come from a background of politicians and have no desire to ran for a political office. My job is to keep corrupt politicians straight for the sake of our country! But thanks my friend!!
@maxiley @maina love you…
@maxiley @maina love you guys standing up for our country. And yes if @maina decides to gi political i will support too! We need such people x

If you think your prayers…
If you think your prayers will help me, go ahead and pray…
Sir, Kenyan pastors don’t…
Sir, Kenyan pastors don’t need to agree with him but just need to check their Bible which will stamp this words. Any nation invaded by swamps, locusts etc, it is a clear judgment from God
@Gaabriel Kioi are you…
@Gaabriel Kioi are you denying that there are some kenyans who agree with this nut case.Ofcouse akenyan pastors dont have to agree with him whoever suggested that…
Really preacher man, really!…
Really preacher man, really!
Kenyans, this man is not John The Baptist! He is Deimos possessed creature that is denigrating Kenyans because they are black.
He would not have stupidly said this nonsense had the locusts been landing in some “white” parts of America or any other “white” country!
He is using the locusts to be a pure racist! No wonder many folks have turned away from the word of God because of bigots like this one!
I can’t ask God to forgive him simply because he knows better; he is just playing a racist card against the Kenyan people simply because most of them are black!
God is not a racist God; He equally loves all regardless of their skin color – yellow, black, piggy pink ( whites), yellow, and everyone in between.
Preacher – stop gleaning like a mad man after uttering foolishness! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!
Yeah…like God punishes the…
Yeah…like God punishes the Souther states with hurricanes, tornadoes and gun violence
@seneca – the bigoted…
@seneca – the bigoted preacher won’t talk about the problems you mentioned! Gun violence is now every where in America but the faithfuls doesn’t not want to address it.
There were some shooting right next door to where this preacher lives, but he does not care because those who got killed are Mexicans and Blacks. The hypocrisy with the evangelicals is too much.
He is quick to point his finger to an issue in Kenya which is 20,000 mile away, but he can’t soul search his heart to figure out problems that are local to his own neighborhood.
This is like taking a speck out of others eyes while he is carrying a huge log in both his eyes!
It is time for Africans to start taking stock and be in control of their own destiny!

All religions are fake! You don’t need someone else to show you the way to salvation. You find your way to salvation without all this fake preachers. Just treat others like you would like to be treated. Love one another. Show some sympathy.
Hell-bound preacher – his…
Hell-bound preacher – his statement does not even dignify and answer from esteemed Kenyans. A preacher thief, have the audacity to call others thieves. He is a Christian, but he should be Christ-like, and ask himself. What would Jesus say? Would he throw stones at Kenyans? Kenyans will survive.
We agree with you Mr…
We agree with you Mr Preacher. It is the year 2020. Time of Revelation and Restoration. Every nation ( that includes Israelites; Edormites;Moabites etc) according to God will reap what it has sawn. “Those who put people into captivity, shall go into captivity; those who kill with a sword shall be killed with a sword”. Let’s keep watching, everything will be revealed for all to watch and see. Judgement is here!!
This preacher need to leave…
This preacher need to leave Kenya and help the homeless in the Babylonian cities. That is where help is needed
You know what you forget mr…
You know what you forget mr whote preacher? Kenyans have not only visited but lives and are residents/citizens of USA…. and conpared to Kenya USA is more corrupt.but USA corruption is legal!!!! How do you explain killing of innocent blackmen in usa and killer being not charged for murder? How do you explain being stopped on the road for not putting a signal on a lane that says must exit and be charged over 30K or 300$? How do you explain the actions of the Senate during current impeachment process? Need i go on? Are tornadoes, hurricanes, heavy snow storms, mass shootings happen? Is the pharmaceutical industry for cure or creating sickness for money gains? Please address the above in your next sermon
