The bishop and reverend of AIPCA Ndogino in Ndaragwa are under fire for inviting President William Ruto to the church on July 14.
X (Twitter) user Mwabili Mwagodi, who has been calling out religious leaders for hosting politicians in churches, received the contacts of the religious leaders from residents of the area.
According to Mwabili, the residents and Kenyans at large had voiced their disapproval of pulpit politics and the plunder of resources associated with church fundraisers.
As a result, residents of the area have promised to show up in church and bar Ruto from speaking.
Mwabili has sent a warning to the bishop concerning hosting Ruto, adding that they will not allow him to speak.
“This message is to inform you that I am currently out of the country on a work assignment, but my people shall (MANDATORY) Occupy Ndaragwa on Sunday and they shall (MANDATORY) make sure Ruto doesn’t address the Church from the Pulpit,
“God bless you and see you on Sunday bright and early!!!” a message to the bishop reads in part.
