In a move that has sparked praise and controversy, Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit has banned politicians from addressing faithful in ACK churches.
Ole Sapit issued the directive during the consecration and enthronement of Ven Canon Jonathan Kabiru as the 3rd Bishop of the ACK Diocese of Nairobi at St Stephen's Cathedral in Makadara, Nairobi County, on Sunday.
The Archbishop said the directive would be a permanent policy. "When the time comes to acknowledge those who have come, we will do that.
I want to give direction from now henceforth, in any Anglican congregation and I thank God my bishops are here, there will be no opportunity for any political leader to give a speech in the church," he declared.
