Disability rights activist Michael Makarina has praised Prophet David Owuor, saying the preacher healed him during a recent rally in Nakuru, Kenya. Makarina, who has used a wheelchair for over ten years after an accident, told followers that Owuor is doing excellent work. He said, “Owuor anafanya kazi mzuri sana,” and confirmed he feels healed, though he is still getting used to walking.
The moment happened at the Menengai 8 repentance rally over the New Year period. Thousands attended the event run by Owuor’s Ministry of Repentance and Holiness. Photos and videos show Makarina on stage in his wheelchair as Owuor prayed over him.
Soon after, Makarina shared updates saying he no longer needs the chair full-time. He described his legs feeling new, like a small child’s, and said he walks a bit but carefully.
Makarina has been open about his story. The accident left him paralysed more than a decade ago. He became known as a strong voice for people with disabilities, speaking out on rights and access in places like Meru County.
Some call him a businessman or politician, and he has supported government figures at events. Attending the rally fits his public faith expressions.
Not everyone accepts the claim right away. Nairobi County official Geoffrey Mosiria asked Makarina to donate the wheelchair if he truly doesn’t need it. Mosiria posted online, wondering where to pick it up for someone else.
That sparked jokes and arguments. Some fans defended Makarina, saying healing can take time to show fully. Others waited for more proof, like seeing him walk without help.
Makarina pushed back on doubters. He called them people without faith and asked them to wait patiently. In one post, he said when he stands strong one day, just praise the Lord, no questions. He urged critics to keep their problems if they can’t believe. His words match how he often speaks directly on issues.
Owuor’s ministry is no stranger to healing testimonies. The prophet holds big gatherings where people claim cures from illnesses or disabilities. Videos from past events show folks leaving crutches or standing up.
Supporters see these as signs from God. Critics question if they hold up over time or under checks. The church focuses on repentance and holiness, warning against worldly things.
This case got attention fast on social media. Clips of the prayer spread on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Comments ranged from congratulations to skepticism. One user wrote about past healings that seemed real. Another asked why still use the chair if fully healed.
Makarina keeps posting updates. Recent ones show him moving more, though sometimes with support. He dances a little in videos, smiling wide. For him, the change feels real, even if gradual. He thanks Owuor and the ministry for the prayer.
In Kenya, stories like this draw mixed views. Many turn to faith for hope with health struggles. Hospitals can be far or costly, so rallies offer comfort. But doubts come when claims face questions. Makarina’s background as an activist adds weight – people know him for fighting real issues, not just talk.
The rally itself was huge, with crowds in Nakuru over days. Owuor preached on preparing for end times. Healings are a big part of those meetings. Makarina’s spot on stage stood out because of his public profile.
As weeks pass since the event, people watch for progress. Makarina seems positive, focusing on recovery. He dismisses quick judgements and points to faith. Owuor’s followers celebrate it as another miracle.
Whatever side people take, the story shows faith’s role in many lives here. Makarina continues advocating while sharing his journey. Time will show how it unfolds. For now, his praise for Owuor keeps the conversation going.
