The motivational speaker and city pastor Robert Burale opened up on his condition and test results for Covid-19 turning positive, through his Facebook page on Monday, July 6.
Kenyans have started doubting whether Burale is sick after he posted a series of videos slaying in the ICU with a cap and t-shirt at Nairobi Hospital, claiming that he was diagnosed with the deadly Covid19.
Kenyans wondered whether a Covid19 patient with serious breathing problems can have time to go live on Instagram and record himself.
As Kenyans continue debating whether Burale is sick or he is just chasing clout, his evil deeds were exposed on twitter after several Kenyans revealed how he is a notorious conman.
A lady revealed how he faked a disease and extorted his ex-girlfriend who was living in London. Another man revealed how Burale conned him during a business deal while another lady exposed how he conned a woman Ksh 2 million in the name of marriage.
Burale mostly targets naïve women who think he is a real pastor but he is just a notorious conman who masquerades as a pastor and motivational speaker.
He responds
Well, he responded to the same stating that it is not in his place to defend his case. He also dismissed earlier claims about his admission in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), clarifying he is actually in the isolation ward.
“I never need to defend myself for being unwell. But I am fully recovering and I am not in the Intensive Care Unit. I am in an Isolation ward. This disease is real and those arguing that it cannot be contracted are misplaced. Kenyans should be safe and adhere to protocols guided. I pray for everyone´s safety.”
It was shortly after that that netizens created a challenge to mimic his hospital video. This prompted Kenya Film Classification Board CEO Ezekiel Mutua to advise netizens to refrain from mocking and making jokes about other people’s health.
“Never mock a man when he's down. Never speculate, make jokes or be cynical about people's health. We are all human and you can be fine one minute and the next all hell breaks loose. We are all so close to the edge. Life is fickle!” he tweeted.
