A bombshell investigation has exposed the dark underbelly of faith healing, revealing falsified records in a "miracle" HIV cure.

The sanctity of faith and the rigour of science have collided in a scandalous expose that has left the followers of Prophet David Owuor reeling. An investigative report by TV47 has pierced the veil of the self-proclaimed prophet's "miracle" ministry, revealing that a man who claimed to be healed of HIV presented blatantly forged medical records to substantiate his testimony. The revelation has sparked a firestorm of anger and skepticism across the nation, questioning the ethics of unregulated religious movements.

The Fabricated Testimony

The man at the center of the scandal, Peter Oyan, had become a poster child for Prophet Owuor’s healing powers. Oyan claimed he was diagnosed with HIV in 2012 at a hospital in Rumuruti and was "cured" during a 2013 crusade in Nakuru. His story was compelling, emotional, and—as it turns out—completely fabricated.

Healthcare workers at Unison Medical Centre in Rumuruti, where Oyan claimed to have been treated, have blown the whistle. "The records are fake," a hospital staffer confirmed on camera. The patient number on Oyan’s card belonged to a female patient, and there is no file of Oyan ever receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the facility. The evidence suggests a coordinated attempt to manufacture a miracle for public consumption.

• The TV47 Crew: In a bizarre twist, the TV47 journalists who investigated the story revealed that they were "gifted" KSh 20,000 each by the Prophet after an interview. The crew returned the money nine days later, citing ethical conflicts, fueling suspicions of attempted bribery to kill the story.
• Public Outrage: Social media has erupted with demands for accountability. The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) faces pressure to crack down on religious leaders who encourage patients to abandon life-saving medicine for prayers.

Faith vs. Fraud

This incident is not an isolated case but a symptom of a broader crisis where desperation meets manipulation. For millions of sick and vulnerable Kenyans, figures like Prophet Owuor offer a glimmer of hope where the public health system has failed. But when that hope is built on lies, it becomes dangerous.

The exposure of the fake HIV records is a damning indictment of the "prosperity gospel" industry. It raises uncomfortable questions about the complicity of those who stage these miracles and the regulatory vacuum that allows them to operate with impunity. As the church issues denials and the public demands answers, one thing is clear: faith is powerful, but facts are stubborn.
