Richest American Preacher Who KOT Roasted For Spiting On The 254 Nominated ‘Friend Of Kenya’ On The Same Award The First Lady Was Nominated
From a foe to a friend, what a world! The one man Kenyans slammed over his insulting remark has now been nominated as a friend of this country!
Sometimes in October 2013, Apostle Thomas Dexter better known as TD Jakes fell on the radar of KOT over his itchy words; “The natives all over Kenya drink water because of this ministry.”

While then Kenyans bayed for his blood, things have completely changed over the past 20 months. The man of god has been nominated ‘Friend of Kenya’ on Diaspora Entertainment Awards & Recognition.
The award ceremony celebrates Kenyans’ efforts around the world for their hard work and contribution in their chosen occupation.
TD Jakes is obviously not Kenyan but he was chosen under Friend of Kenya category which celebrates non-Kenyans for their contributions towards this great country.
Also nominated for the award was First Lady Margaret Kenyatta. Her Beyond Zero Campaign booked her a slot in Lifetime Achievement category.
The award gala will be held on 5th September 2015 in Irving, Texas, USA.
