You must pay tithe to church, Nandi Governor Sang orders senior county staff
Pastors pray for Nandi County's newly appointed chief officers following their swearing-in on March 20, 2023 by Governor Stephen Sang. The governor directed them to regularly pay tithes to their churches.
The new and rare directive from the Nandi governor took his new appointees by surprise
A tithe is a portion of one’s income, usually 10 per cent, that is given as an offering to one’s church.
In what may be seen as an odd directive and a first in Kenya’s devolved units, Nandi Governor Stephen Sang has ordered newly appointed chief officers to regularly remit 10 per cent of their monthly salaries to their respective churches.
While speaking on Monday during the swearing-in of the senior officials, Mr Sang explained that he was issuing the directive after establishing that local churches require support from leaders and the county government.
