The church has been on the spotlight ever since the graft war heightened in the country. Many leaders have since expressed that the church is spending lots of graft cash with Deputy President William Ruto being at the center of most of the accusations.
A lot of heat has developed ever since the opposition leader Raila Odinga questioned the DP’s source of wealth especially when he gifted the church an expensive car gift.
Well, one confident Anglican Bishop has defended the Church from the numerous hits it has taken since.
The Bishop has informed leaders castigating the church for receiving political donations that they will continue doing so until the investigations prove that the funds raised in their fundraisers are dirty.
Bishop Timothy Gichere of the ACK Mt Kenya Central diocese said no one should label or condemn others as corrupt as one is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
He added that the church cannot distinguish between “clean” money and money gotten from corruption scandals.
The bishop urged those condemning the church to stop it and allow the investigating agencies to do their work without undue political interference.
“When leaders come to church and contribute money with clean hearts, we can’t decline because we are not in a position to know if the money is gotten from corruption and we are not there to rebuke and label people as corrupt because that is the obligation of the courts.
“Let the judicial process go on without politicizing the war on graft so that the culprits can be arrested and charged,” he said.
