Nyeri Catholic Archbishop Anthony Muheria on Sunday sent a stern warning to politicians who are in the habit of settling political scores at funeral ceremonies.
The Bishop, seemingly pissed off by what he termed as the 'politicising of burials', blasted President William Ruto's allies for their increasing notoriety of bringing politics into funerals.
Muheria was reacting to the recent heated exchange of words witnessed at the burial of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula's mother in Western Kenya where the majority leader in the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung'wah, and Transzoia Governor George Natembeya exchanged words, the Bishop said the incident was as unfortunate and ill-advised.
He slammed the ruling elite for lacking fundamental respect for sacred activities like burial ceremonies and asked the leaders to look deep within themselves for decency.
