Member of Parliament for Malindi Aisha Jumwa has angered the Christian community after turning a Christian worship hymn into a praise song for Deputy President William Ruto.
The song ‘Hakuna wa kufanana nawe’ (there is none like you God) which is used to praise God in churches was changed in a manner that the noun God was removed, making it a political song that praised the DP.
Bishop Godfrey Migwi of House of Hope in Kayole now claims that the Deputy President has been turned into a ‘small god’ in a number of events which he has been attending.
This includes a recent rally he attended in Bumula constituency, Bungoma County.
Bishop Migwi now wants the Deputy President to turn to God and repent.
Through a letter that he penned down to the DP, he quoted “apologize to the body of Christ and repent for his life, peace, and political journey’s sake”.
Through his letter dubbed “Letter to the Deputy President of Kenya”, shared on Facebook, the Bishop said if Ruto will keep on allowing his supporters to praise and worship him, he will eventually go through what King Herod went through during his time, which is death.
“King Herod died with belly disease for allowing poor people from Tyre and Sidon to praise him like god just because he gave them food and they relied on him for food, so he was eaten by 🐛 worms and died,” read his letter in part.
The Bishop added that he was playing his part as a messenger of God before distancing himself from politics.
