A 52-year-old pastor identified as Moses Olutatwa was caught having sexual intercourse with a married woman in his congregation.
55-year-old Jane Omwaga had sex with her pastor in the home she shares with her husband at Elukho village in Lurambi Constituency, KKakamega County in Kenya.
They were caught when her husband, Josephat Omwaga who works as a security guard, returned home earlier than expected.
Olutatwa is a pastor at Solid Rock for Jesus Christ Church where Mrs Omwaga attends.
Olutatwa and Omwaga underwent cleansing rituals on Tuesday July 7, 2020 after their adulterous affair.
Omwaga giving her own side of the story explains why she had an affair with her pastor. She accused her husband of neglecting her sexual and financial needs.
She said the pastor seduced her and offered her financial assistance.
Omwaga said;
“The pastor came to my home at 5am and knocked on my door, I let him in. We storied for some time and, thereafter, got in bed. We got intimate, and while at it, I heard my husband knocking on the door. The pastor and I hopped out of bed. I, thereafter, opened the backdoor for him (Olutatwa) to escape. However, my husband managed to open the main door and got in before the pastor could get far. However, my lover managed to pass through a barbed wire fence as my husband chased him with a panga in his hands.
“The pastor had seduced me recently. He said he wanted me, both emotionally and sexually. And, because he had shown that he had my interest at heart — by offering me financial and emotional support — I decided to allow him have sex with me. It was the first time he and I were getting intimate. My husband’s constant insecurity — that I was cheating on him — also pushed me to actually do it.”
Mr Omwaga has sworn not to forgive the mother of his three children for breaking their marital vows.
He said, “Had I busted my wife having sex with the pastor in a sugarcane plantation or maize plantation, I would have forgiven her. However, she chose to disrespect me by bringing another man to our matrimonial bed, that is the highest level of disrespect, and I won’t tolerate it. I have made it clear to my spouse that I am divorcing her, and I would, thereafter, sell the parcel of land where our matrimonial home seats on, and relocate elsewhere.”
Before returning to her parents’ home in Khwisero Constituency, Kakamega County, Jane and Moses Olutatwa were asked to produce one cow each.
Jackson Makale, a Luhya elder told K24 Digital that the act of offering a cow each, would shield the wrongdoers’ families against misfortunes such as mysterious ailments or even deaths.
Area chief, Alex Mutende also condemned the incident and further revealed that the police has launched investigations into the ”shameful incident.”
