But a top Powered Up member, speaking on condition of anonymity, spilled the beans on the actual activities that goes on there.
“First and foremost, the whole cult, Illuminati stuff is total crap. We are nothing like that. Can you call the Kiambu Country Club a cult? Because it only admits it’s members only? Or the Muthaiga Country Club? Of course not. We are more or less the same thing. Only that we are digital and contrary to claims, we actually admit everyone only that you have to really quality before we let you in, ” he said.
