Former 'Atheists in Kenya' Official Who Found Jesus Accused of Fraud
The Atheists in Kenya Society (AIK) is accusing its former secretary Seth Mahiga of fraud.
Mahiga is alleged to have withdrawn an undisclosed amount of money from the society’s bank account without the knowledge of the Executive Committee.
AIK President Nyende Mumia says members of the committee were shocked when they visited their bank on Friday, only to find a huge sum was missing from their account.
"The new executive committee, including myself, the incoming Treasurer Samson Mbavu and the incoming Secretary Mary Kamau had visited KCB today only to be informed that the former Secretary Seth Mahiga, had withdrawn funds from the Atheists In Kenya Society bank account without our authority," Mumia said in a statement.
Mahiga resigned from AIK in May last year, saying he was no longer interested in promoting atheism in Kenya as he had found Jesus Christ.
“This evening, regretfully, our Secretary Mr. Seth Mahiga made the decision to resign from his position as Secretary of our society. Seth's reason for resigning is that he has found Jesus Christ and is no longer interested in promoting atheism in Kenya,” Mumia announced in a press statement.
Until his resignation, Mahiga had served as the society’s secretary for one and a half years. A video shared on social media showed Mahiga at church telling the congregation, “I’ve been going through some difficulties in life. … I’m so happy to be here.”
AIK was registered as a society under the Societies Act, Cap 108 on February 17th, 2016.
The 2019 National Population Census placed the total number of atheists in Kenya at 755,750, representing about 2.5 percent of the country’s total population.
Kilifi County had the highest number of nonbelievers with 146,669, followed by Nakuru (67,640), Nairobi (54,841), Narok (45,617), Kiambu (30770), Kitui (23,778), Meru (20,985) and Mombasa (11,148).

Young ni Ukenya
I think corruption inakuwanga kwa DNA ya Kenyans. Wenye hatuko corrupt we have to fight that thought and we do good on purpose. Ni venye Paul alisema Rom 7:21 “…..when I want to do good, evil is right there with me.” Ama mnasemaje wathii?
Shonde sana! How comes you are the loud mouthed Ruto the most corrupt mega thief in Kenyan history singing illiterate in this mwakilishi forum?
I guess Mahiga has not been privy to what the 8th commandment says...yet.Sounds like he is still confused.
Maxilley it’s in our DNA as kenyans
Sisi wote ni wezi
@ Mr. collusion, Iam beginning to lean toward that" belief".Seems like every day we see,and read about kenyans scamming others.And this is only what is reported. Think of how many are ashamed to come forward.Hey, I am sure many men are scammed by pretty women who use their sexuality to lure lusty men.And these men our of shame are not going to reveal that.I wouldnt...
Last week many were shocked that a police officer returned I believe it was 450,000 Ksh to a victim of a car accident. What does that tell us?
It’s truly heartbreaking brother.
If he found Jesus, he should repent and return the stolen money. Otherwise his claim to have found Jesus is an escape. Remember Pattini?
Joe Kamande we live in a fallen world brother. Remember Jesus telling them he who without sin to cast the first stone?
That is what happens when you turn to foreign gods. Mwene Nyaga Tosha!
@Mwikuyu so he should have stayed in\with indigenous gods and kept stealing. That would have been perfect legal?
Sasa ni mbaya na wewe neanderthal thinking
It is said, we are all sinners, but if you believe in JC, your sins will be forgiven no matter what you may have done (murder, steal, fornicate, lie, adultery - there is always a way out). Mahiga is just following the script. Believe, sin, then be forgiven or sin, believe bam! forgiven. The template is there. Anyone to contest my argument?
That kind of sweeping statement that we are all sinners has too many faults on front for me to name. Why would the creator make us all sinners to start with.Its like we are all thieves,and by not stealing we are still thieves...right?
Right. Even if If you did not eat an apple when a snake told you to (yes snakes could talk during Adam and Eves times) you still committed the so called original sin by being just being born. Umenyita?
what language was used by the snakes? Or for that matter,what language did Adam,and Eve speak...write...?
