Mike Makarina has suffered a major political and social setback after Senator David Ole Sankok announced that he has been deregistered from the Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) club. According to Ole Sankok, Makarina will no longer enjoy the benefits or special treatment that comes with being recognized as disabled.
The decision follows Makarina’s claim that Pastor Owuor had miraculously restored his ability to walk, a statement that raised eyebrows within the PWD community. Sankok described the claim as contradictory to the purpose of the PWD status and argued that it undermines the integrity of the club, which exists to protect and support genuinely disabled individuals.
This development has sparked heated debate online, with some supporting Sankok’s stance, saying that special privileges should only go to those who genuinely need them, while others accuse him of being insensitive to Makarina’s personal journey and spiritual experiences.
The incident highlights the delicate balance between disability advocacy, personal claims of healing, and the politics surrounding benefits for marginalized groups. For Makarina, the deregistration is not only a loss of privileges but also a public embarrassment, raising questions about how claims of miraculous healing intersect with official recognition and support systems for PWDs.
