The church's plea comes 14 years after the devastating incident that left 35 people dead.

The church, which was at the centre of deadly post-poll chaos in 2008, is seeking Kenyans' help to rebuild it after well-wishers who had pledged financial aid reneged on their decision to assist.

Bishop Joseph Kamau Mariko told The Standard that the Sh25 million will be used to construct a perimeter wall, as well as build a new structure that can host up to 500 congregants.

“The construction has to start from scratch,” Bishop Mariko said, adding that a contractor's estimate indicates building the church would cost Sh25 million.

“We hope the high perimeter wall that we've factored in the design, will help assure the congregants of their security,” he said.

However, some Kenyans have raised eyebrows over the tone used in the church's advertisement, terming it as “too harsh”.

Bishop Mariko clarified that the church is not playing politics and will not allow division to mar their project.
