The Internet almost broke as drama unfolded between two women associated with JCM church Rev Muthee Kiengei.

There was online drama between Kiengei’s second wife Joy Kiengei and Dama wa Spares, a businesswoman dealing with mobile phone spares, who is suspected of having a thing with the JCM church founder.

Dama is also an influential blogger who does not shy away from expressing her mind and thoughts. She does not shy away from online hard tackles and catfights.

Muthee Kiengei was an ordained AIPCA church priest before forming his own church, JCM, which is located in Kamakis, Ruiru, Kiambu County.

In the cat fights that have been the talk of the town and Kikuyu blogs, Damaris of Dama spares, who is also said to be a sponsor of the church, openly and through songs taunted Joy Kiengei.

She uses a Kikuyu song originally done by Sammy Muraya entitled Kiyo Kia Mutumia (the workmanship of a family woman). 

In the song posted on TikTok, Dama and a friend have recorded themselves singing that if a woman lacks wisdom, she must fall.

The song goes on: “When a driver is on the road, he is commanded by a conductor. It is the conductor who commands the driver to drive or stop.”

The flamboyant businesswoman and her friend, while in a car, continue to sing that if a woman is lazy her house must fall and for a man to be easy, it is a woman’s mandate.

In her Facebook account, Dama throws another jibe: ”The snake that bites the shell of a tortoise end up with a wounded mouth.”

This is interpreted to mean that Joy should not attempt to bite more than she can chew or engage her in a tussle.

A few moments later, Joy took to her phone video to answer Dama with a song tailored to pour insults on Dama Wa spares.

In the song, Joy sings: “You devil I want to tell you that there is a time that will come when all the pains you make me go through will get back to you with vengeance and throw you in hell fire.”

Muthee Kiengei, who is also a comedian, a radio co-host and events MC, had to switch off Facebook comments section on his profile as well as that of his church as bloggers and Kenyans called on him to reign on his “two women”.

Kiengei, upon realising the online heat, locked his two profiles as many people called on him not to allow his wife to be looked down upon or to be insulted.

The pastor later went online and wrote that he is a big man who drops humongous dung like that of an elephant and not small sheep dung and that everywhere he passes through he drops big dung.

Pundits and online analysts have always seen Dama as a tucked away clande, who keeps fighting for her space and recognition in the church. 

She calls herself a matron and even tags her matron's Facebook page called office of the matron JCM intnl.

Pundits also take note of her dressing and that of Kiengei in church on Sundays. They wonder if it's by coincidence or design that they match colours.

A popular Mt Kenya region blogger and a philanthropist, in what has been seen as damage control and character sprucing, has gone online pouring heaps of praise on Dama.

In the post, the blogger says Dama’s character is defined by her blend of empathy, responsibility and selflessness.

“She not only focuses on the success on business but also incorporates a deep sense of social responsibility her benevolence extends to her role as a great employer,” the post says.

The post further notes that Dama exemplifies a rare character because of her dedication to her compassionate works.

“The charitable tasks have significantly impacted many lives. Many can tell about it from the church programs to other works in the society,” the post adds.
