Gusii Members of Parliament allied to Deputy President Dr William Ruto have told Interior CS Dr Fred Matiangi to resign if he is interested in politics.

Speaking at a at a fundraiser at Sironga SDA Church, the MPs said Matiang’i should not go round on a CS flag while trumpeting politics.

“As leaders, we respect him, but he should not go round on a CS flag while trumpeting politics. Let him climb down from his office and join politics,” said South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro.

Also present were MPs Joash Nyamoko (North Mugirango), Vincent Kemosi (West Mugirango ), Shadrack Mose (Kitutu Masaba), Oroo Oyioka (Bonchari), Innocent Obiri (Bobasi) and Alfa Miruka (Bomachoge Chache).

Ruto allied MPs have always been at odds with the interior CS, arguing that the powerful CS was indirectly fighting the second in command.

Their differences started when Matiang’i was elevated to the powerful post of chairing the cabinet, which was viewed as a plot to deny Ruto powers.

The MPs also urged the government to hire unemployed graduates as census clerks.

They said they have information that some school principals and doctors have applied for the jobs.

Deputy President Dr William Ruto on Thursday met the Harambee Stars sports captain, Victor Wanyama at his Karen office, Nairobi.

The discussion centered around identifying and grooming football talent in Kenya.

Ruto stated that he would support efforts that promote scouting and sporting talent.

The DP also endorsed the forthcoming Wanyama Roya Cup tournament, in which hundreds of boys and girls are expected to compete in a three-day youth tournament.

He noted that winners would be awarded uniforms, medals, certificates of participation and cash prizes.

Politicians force Mumias ACK churches to stop Weekend burials

written by Mustafa Juma

Over a long period of time, most churches in Kenya have been conducting burials on Saturday and Sundays, but to Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) churches in Mumias, Kakamega County, this will be a thing of the past.

With 2022 succession politics gaining momentum, politicians have been camping in different parts of the Country to sway voters towards their support.

The politicians have been using churches as their platforms on Sundays, whilst funerals have been greatly acted as platforms on Saturdays. But will this continue?

ACK BISHOP Joseph Wandera says its Mumias churches will no longer conduct burials on Saturdays and Sundays due to interference by politicians.

There has been also a debate revolving around church donations by politicians.

Last month Deputy President Dr William Ruto vowed not to allow any law aimed at curbing church donations pass as suggested by some leaders.

Ruto spoke at Mumias ACK church where he graced the diocesan yearly prayers. He said those propagating a change of the law were non-religious people who do not value the importance of churches.

He further warned those pushing for the law reforms that it won’t happen in Kenya and they had to move out if they wanted to achieve their agenda.

The DP also cited that politicians engaging in such debates will fail and they and their parties will perish too.

He quoted the bible from Deuteronomy 8.19, saying the nation will continue to be a God-fearing State.

“Any political party or politician that attempts to undermine what God intends by any means including passing legislation that is against the word of God, will perish,” said Ruto.

He took a swipe at leaders opposing his generous donations in churches, saying they lacked gratefulness to God who brought to them the same leadership.

Is this the cause of the decision by Bishop Joseph Wandera to stop conducting weekend burials? And do you think this will stop politicians from politicking over the weekends?
