Please look up the meaning behind the words "facade" and "metaphor".

Why would Arlo, a strain of infestation intelligent enough to maintain an artificial presence of benevolence and salvation, infect Kenga in a way that would give away the ruse to anyone who is a potential convert? He is supposed to be an almighty healer capable of undoing even the disasterous clone rot the Grineer experience. It's simple. The strain of infestation wants to spread beyond the quarantine. It needs somebody to help it do that. What does a terrible affliction with the ability to weave flesh and bone do? It "fixes" a man to look like he has been healed. It "fixes" the believers who come to it for aid, keeping them physically intact and sane until the necessary time for full mutation comes around.

Whether Kenga is really in control is something that we're not even sure about. The infested is a hive mind. Kenga is supposedly infested. Whether or not he's simply another infested entity acting in the will of the hive mind or an individual who has somehow entered into a symbiotic pact with the infestation for the sake of revenge is something we don't know for sure.
