Published on September 8, 2019, a Catholic church service in Murang'a was disrupted after two MPs clashed over protocol during a fundraiser.
MPs Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu) and Maina Kamanda (nominated) engaged in a heated exchange as they differed over who should invite the present leaders to address the congregation.
The clash was a replay of the supremacy battle between the Kieleweke and Tangatanga political factions.
According to sources, Bishop Wainaina has ordered the clergy in Murang'a and Kirinyaga counties to suspend such activities until further notice.
"The bishop is annoyed over what happened at Gitui Church. The clergy has to obey the order for the dignity of the church," a priest said.
When reached for comment, Bishop Wainaina stated, "Am hurt over what has happened. I have started an investigation so that I can understand what happened and why".
