Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris on Tuesday, April 22, issued a stern warning to Gen Zs over the 'photoshopping' of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the next Pope after the passing of Pope Francis.
While speaking during a Parliament session, Passaris urged Gen Zs to respect Raila and the billions of Catholic faithful globally, who are in mourning following the passing of their spiritual leader on Monday. "I have seen a lot of people on social media, the ones who have no respect, painting a picture of a man who lived with God and ruled two billion people as a spiritual leader by putting Raila's image and Raila in Pope clothes.
I think that is so disrespectful," she noted. "I want to tell our Gen Zs out there, you should have respect for Raila Odinga, the two billion Catholics, and the pope.
He has not even been laid to rest, and you use his passing as a mockery.
