On September 15, 2019, Nairobi Jubilee MCAs urged leaders to keep politics out of churches, citing disrespect for the altar.
Majority Leader Abdi Guyo led the call, urging politicians to use other forums to advance their agenda rather than churches.
He pointed out that temples and mosques have never witnessed such political fights, and that politicians should respect places of worship.
“Fights and backstabbing of politicians in churches is uncalled for and should not be entertained. Places of worship should be respected and politicians should stop using churches as grounds for attacking each another,” said Mr Guyo during a fundraiser at Macedonia PCEA Church in Kayole, Nairobi.
The MCAs also urged leaders from the two wings to put aside their political differences and focus on delivering on pledges made to their constituents.
Mr Guyo reminded the elected leaders that Kenyans will judge them in the ballot come 2022 not according to who shouted loudest in churches, but based on the development they made to their people.
