Church Condemns Ndichu, Kihika

The Catholic church has condemned calls by two MPs that they would mobilise Mungiki sect members if members of the public continued insulting President Moi.

Through Holy Family Basilica father, Emmanuel Ngugi, the church said the two do not deserve to be leaders if they could make the outbursts.

It was unwise for leaders to advocate for chaos to solve their differences and they should instead preach reconciliation to their electors and enemies, he said.

"Instead of planting seeds of hatred, our leaders should be on the forefront in stabilising peace in the country," he said.

The father was reacting to remarks made over the weekend by Juja MP, Mr Stephen Ndichu, and his Molo counterpart, Mr Dickson Kihika Kimani, that they will fight anyone opposing President Moi.

The church also announced that this year's second anniversary of the late father John Anthony Kaiser will be held on Saturday August 24 at St Francis Catholic parish, in Naivasha.
