Private detective Jane Mugoh has publicly accused motivational speaker and pastor Robert Burale of allegedly misusing his influence to engage in questionable financial dealings and personal conduct, claims that have triggered online debate.
In a detailed Facebook post, Mugoh questioned how individuals who gain fame and authority allegedly end up exploiting their influence rather than using it for public good.
She wrote: “Does it mean when some leaders, politicians, businessmen gets fame, power, known, increase followers instead of using it positively to impact society they oppress misuse, obtain money by false pretense.”
Mugoh alleged that Burale was invited to mentor a corporate group in Naivasha but instead used the engagement to build personal contacts beyond the professional setting.
She claimed: “You were invited to mentor a corporate in Naivasha, you took numbers of different leaders especially women; same night you were on video call with some.”
She further accused him of allegedly borrowing money within a short period and failing to honour repayment commitments, saying only partial refunds were made.
According to her statement: “In one month you had already borrowed money promising to return which you failed. I personally reached out to you, you only sent 25k and 12k totalling 37k.”
Mugoh maintained that the dispute is not only about money but also about trust, integrity, and respect in professional relationships.
“My client needs her full payment plus interest and expenses... It's not about amount but the disrespect and lies,” she added.
She also criticised what she described as growing hypocrisy among some motivational speakers and religious figures, accusing them of misusing platforms meant for mentorship and moral guidance.
Mugoh wrote: “I see you preach and mentor people daily but are you setting a bad example to your followers, mentee, flocks and sheep’s.”
In her remarks, she further raised concerns about alleged misconduct in religious spaces, arguing that some leaders exploit trust for financial and personal gain.
“It is disgusting, annoying, hurting to see some men and women hiding in church, using altar, politicians, obtaining money from innocent Kenyans,” she stated.
Mugoh also referenced broader public discourse on how society judges public figures, suggesting that perceptions of some individuals may be misleading or incomplete.
