The Evangelical Churches of Kenya has urged churches nationwide to prohibit politicians from engaging in political discussions during church services.
In a joint press statement, EAK Chairman Bishop Phillip Kitoto and EAK General Secretary stressed the importance of maintaining the"sanctity of the pulpit" while politicians attend church services, especially given the heightened political tension currently being experienced in the country. Acknowledging the passion and dedication displayed by protesting youths in their rejection of the Finance Bill 2024, EAK encouraged them to conduct their protests in accordance with the scriptures, which dictate that young people should"set an example for all believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity."
"The EAK leadership has observed with utmost concern the happenings this past week on the streets in the cities around the country. Never has this nation seen such an outcry in opposition to the Finance Bill 2024 or any other legislative process," the statement read.
