Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria expressed criticism towards American preacher Benny Hinn for his stance on the Israeli- Palestine conflict, where Hinn showed support for Israeli. "It is wrong to give an Israeli preacher an opportunity to give one sided views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on National TV and in such a quasi State function. Kenya continues to call for a cessation of hostilities even as we show solidarity with Israel over the October 7th terror attacks. Kenya supports the rights of Palestinian people for self determination," tweeted CS Kuria.
Benny Hinn has been in the country for the past two days, visiting to conduct a religious event for his followers. During his stay, he convened a meeting at Nyayo Stadium, where he hosted numerous guests.
Benny Hinn is renowned as one of the most accomplished preachers globally, initiating his career at a young age. Over the past forty years, he has overseen the management of his church, amassing a substantial following worldwide.
