National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has yet again emphasised the need for spiritual leaders to focus on their religious duties.
Ichung’wah regretted that some clergy members have neglected their role and instead turned into politicians.
He particularly cited recent clamor by some religious for the release of debt owed to faith-based health facilities by the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).
“When money was being stolen from NHIF, we never heard the protesting about our rights or about that debt,” he said.
“It is now when the new Social Health Authority (SHA) has inherited that debt that we are starting to hear these noises.”
The Kikuyu MP, who was speaking during the burial of former Baringo Senator William Cheptumo at his Bartabwa home in Baringo, said the churches should rethink about their roles and return to that mission.
