What you need to know:

  • Now that their candidate of choice is sleeping with the sword, whoever refuses to let the Church in Kenya eat from where they sowed doesn’t want the clergy to develop eating complications.
  • Had the Kenyan church not taken up the role of the United Nations peacekeepers and not asked to be paid for it, the 2022 elections would have gone to the canines.
  • The noise arising from higher fuel and electricity prices might be causing panic in the new government, but there’s no miracle Jesus didn’t empower the church to perform at the right price.


There are those calling on the Church in Kenya to get out of politics and play the opposition role – I am not one of them.
