Public debate has erupted after an investigation revealed that a man claiming to have been healed of HIV through prayers by Prophet David Owuor allegedly used falsified medical documents.
Peter Oyan from Laikipia County had testified that he was healed during a revival crusade in Nakuru in 2013. He claimed to have been diagnosed with HIV in 2012 at a hospital in Rumuruti and to have been on treatment prior to attending the prayer meeting.
After the prayers, Oyan said he felt healthier and returned to the hospital for fresh tests, which he claimed showed he was HIV negative.
However, an exposé by TV 47 has raised serious questions about his story. A health worker at Unison Medical Centre in Rumuruti revealed that the medical card Oyan presented did not belong to him.
According to the hospital’s patient register, the card number existed but was registered under a different patient’s name, indicating that the document had been falsified.
The facility confirmed that Oyan was never diagnosed or treated for HIV there. Two other hospitals he cited also denied having any records for him, with one noting that his documents lacked official hospital markings.
Medical experts emphasized that HIV has no instant cure and requires long-term treatment using approved antiretroviral medicine.
The revelations have sparked outrage online, with many Kenyans calling for greater honesty and accountability when faith intersects with health matters.
