Kenyan born award winning author Kenneth Binyavanga Wainaina has openly attacked pastors in Africa saying they are evil.
The accomplished
writer who in series of tweets through his twitter handle @BinyavangaW, noted
that some of the Pastors know but others do not. While acknowledging that the
poorest have access to bible in Africa, he noted that the Bibles are paid for
by American churches who understand what influence and politics looks like.
“Most
pentacostal pastors serve evil, some know, some don't. Those of good intent
gave up, and that is, in itself, serving evil.
Bibles are free in Africa. The poorest African has
access to a bible in his or her own language paid for by foreign interests.
Africans are exactly as Christian as somebody has paid money
for them to be.
Majority African bibles fully paid for by American churches
which understand well what genuine influence and politics looks like,” he wrote
in series of tweets.
A close associate of Nigerian wroter, Wainaina
in January 2014, publicly announced that he was gay, after writing a short
story that he described as a "lost chapter" of his 2011 memoir
entitled "I am a Homosexual, Mum", and then tweeting, "I am, for
anybody confused or in doubt, Gay, and quite happy."
