Church Urged to Speak Up for Truth and Justice in Kenya

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka called on religious leaders to defend the truth for all Kenyans. He spoke Tuesday at a funeral in Machakos County, where impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua also attended. Musyoka referenced recent violence at a Presbyterian church in Mwiki, saying attackers nearly murdered the sanctuary. He emphasized this represents a national crisis rather than mere politics.

Musyoka urged churches to speak honestly regardless of circumstances. The opposition gathering included Democratic Action Party leader Eugene Wamalwa. Both Musyoka and Gachagua stressed they would continue advocating for constitutional rights despite intimidation. Gachagua called the church attack an abomination and asked clergy to become the final defenders of public interest.

Gachagua claimed economic problems stem from prioritizing business concerns above public needs. Wamalwa criticized current leadership for implementing poorly researched policies. The three leaders held a political rally in Mlolongo town after the burial service. They promised to maintain unity as they push for democratic freedoms guaranteed under the 2010 constitution.
