Politicians in churches
Politicians will once again expected to flock different churches across the country for worship, and as per the norm, they are expected to take to the pulpit to react to different events that have happened in the country in the past one week.
Today’s Sunday service comes just a day after the Archdiocese of Nairobi reiterated its stance on political donations, confirming that it returned Ksh2.8 million received from President William Ruto and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, November 30, 2024, Archbishop Philip Anyolo emphasized the Church’s commitment to preserving its independence and ethical principles.
Archbishop Anyolo explained that the decision to return the money was consistent with the Church’s long-standing practice of declining donations that could compromise its mission or integrity.
“We returned everything. I do not want to say what the President has already said in public because he already said it. I’m not a politician. I do not want to argue over what politicians have said. We returned everything and we will continue to do so,” Anyolo stated.
