The Rt. Rev. Peter Njenga is a retired Kenyan prelate who served as the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Mt. Kenya South. Before his episcopacy, he was a highly influential figure as the Provost of All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi during the 1980s and 1990s. In this capacity, he occupied one of the most visible pulpits in the country during the height of the Moi era, often navigating the delicate balance between church and state. However, Bishop Njenga's legacy is heavily defined by two major legal sagas that gripped the nation. The first was the mysterious death of his wife, Purity Gathoni Njenga, in 1997. She was found hanging in their home, and the death was initially ruled a suicide. However, intense public pressure led to a judicial inquest in 2001. In a shocking ruling, the presiding magistrate declared that Purity had not committed suicide but was murdered, noting inconsistencies in the autopsy and the scene. The magistrate famously stated there was "a cover-up" and recommended further investigation into the Bishop, though the Attorney General later terminated the case citing insufficient evidence to prosecute. Years later, in 2005, the Bishop faced another legal storm when he was accused of a hit-and-run accident in Limuru that resulted in the death of a pedestrian. He was charged with causing death by dangerous driving but was acquitted in 2006 after the court found the prosecution failed to prove he was the one driving the vehicle at the time. He retired from active ministry amidst these turbulences, leaving a complex legacy of spiritual leadership overshadowed by personal and legal tribulations.
