Kenyan comedienne Mammito Eunice is facing mounting criticism from members of the Repentance and Holiness Ministry following a recent skit in which she imitated their leader, David Owuor.
The parody, which quickly gained traction across social media platforms, has sparked backlash among sections of the church, with followers describing it as disrespectful and offensive to their faith and leadership.
Some congregants have publicly called for an apology and demanded that the video be pulled down, arguing that religious figures should be treated with reverence and not turned into subjects of satire.

The incident has reignited debate over the limits of comedy and freedom of expression, particularly when it intersects with religion.
While some Kenyans have defended Mammito, noting that comedy often reflects and critiques societal issues, others maintain that faith-based institutions and leaders should be approached with sensitivity.
Despite the criticism, the skit continues to circulate widely online, drawing mixed reactions from audiences.
Supporters of the comedian argue that public figures, including religious leaders, are not immune to parody, while critics insist that such portrayals risk undermining deeply held beliefs.
Neither Mammito nor representatives of the church had issued an official statement at the time of reporting, leaving the controversy to play out largely in the public sphere.
Mammito Eunice is widely known for her bold, relatable humor and her ability to portray everyday Kenyan experiences, often using satire and character imitation to entertain audiences both on stage and online.
