• Kasmuel has become a big name online after participating in the recent anti-finance bill protests.

A young man who closely resembles activist Kasmuel McOure caught the attention of Pastor James Ng'ang'a during a church service.

In an undated video, the evangelist is seen stunned and questioning whether the young man was, in fact, the well-known activist.

The striking resemblance left Pastor Ng'ang'a confused, causing the congregation to burst into laughter.

The young man, who was discussing back pain with the preacher, found himself at the center of Pastor Ng'ang'a's curiosity.

"You’re not that one, right? The one named…?" Ng'ang'a asked, referring to Kasmuel. The young man denied it, but the pastor remained unconvinced, repeating his question, "You’re not that one? Not him? What's his name?"

The preacher turned to his team, trying to recall the activist's name, while the young man looked around, equally bewildered. Finally, Ng'ang'a remembered, "Hehe, Samuel, right? Ka? Kasmuel? You're not Kasmuel?"

The young man again denied being the activist, prompting Ng'ang'a to say, "So this isn’t Kasmuel! Kasmuel is the one I heard talking about some school issue, something about kids going for lunch on Saturdays? I heard him recently. The one with the name..."

The room erupted in laughter as the conversation eventually shifted back to the young man's ailment, with him explaining that the medicine he had taken wasn't helping.
