Controversies

In February 2015, at Tana boardroom Mutambu allegedly assaulted and squeezed the genitals of Charles Kyale who was a special advisor to Kitui governor. He was charged in a magistrate court with causing bodily harm.[4] In September same year, the bishop of Helicopter Church, Thomas Wahome, accused Mutambu of threatening him with a gun, assaulting and detaining him in his office for seven hours. Thomas Wahome had gone to Mutambu's office to recover his truck he had rented to transport cement from Donholm to a construction site in Karen, Nairobi after Mutambu failed to return the truck as agreed.[5][6]
