Stop Engaging in Politics, Moi Tells Religious Leaders

President Moi yesterday advised clergymen to keep politics out of the pulpit, adding that many of them have turned their churches into political grounds.

He advised clergy who dabble in politics to quit their churches and join the game if they have political ambitions.

The President said the role of the clergy was to provide spiritual guidance. President Moi reiterated that he was ready to retire from active politics when his tenure constitutionally ends after the General Election.

President Moi was speaking at Tala Boys Primary School grounds in Kangundo where he helped raise funds for the construction of the African Inland Church (AIC) Kangundo regional church council offices.

The President had earlier attended a special Sunday service at the same grounds.

Meanwhile, President Moi said yesterday that only by Kanu's leadership could Kenyans be assured of a secure future.

President Moi said the ruling party Kanu had distinguished itself in matters of public administration and maintenance of peace, love and unity since independence.
