Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday denied leaders accompanying him a chance to speak. It has been a norm for leaders accompanying the President or the Deputy President to be given a chance to address the congregants. Most politicians have been known for propagating political talks at church functions.

However, recently Kenyans asked the clergy not to allow leaders to politic in the Church.

The move has seen politicians denied chances to speak by the clergy while others, congregants staged a walkout.

While addressing mourners during the burial ceremony of Bishop Allan Kiuna in Thindigua, Kiambu County.

The DP spoke to the congregants in the Church and when he was finalizing his speech, he said that leaders are not allowed to speak in Church.

“I have the condolence message from the President, I will read it but before I do, I have a few leaders here, let me just introduce them because they will not be able to speak,” Gachagua said.
