As Kenya’s elections are fast approaching,
Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Embu, RT.
Rev Paul Kariuki Njiru has banned politician
from being included as guests during Church
fundraising. The Bishop who also ordered his
congregation not to accept bribes in other to
vote during the election, fears those vying for
elective positions might use such opportunity
to bring in political campaigns to the church.
In a signed eight point statement by the
Bishop, he said:
"Never accept bribes in order to vote
for the person who gives the bribe.
Indeed all those who bribe or give
money because they wish to influence
people to vote for them are corrupt
leaders and should not at all be voted
as leaders. I hereby degree that all
those aspiring for civic posts come
2017 should not be included in the
list of guests in our fundraising. They
can however make their contributions
just like any other person.’
