ACK Church

Over a long period of time, most churches in Kenya have been conducting burials on Saturday and Sundays, but to Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) churches in Mumias, Kakamega County, this will be a thing of the past.

With 2022 succession politics gaining momentum, politicians have been camping in different parts of the Country to sway voters towards their support.

The politicians have been using churches as their platforms on Sundays, whilst funerals have been greatly acted as platforms on Saturdays. But will this continue?

ACK BISHOP Joseph Wandera says its Mumias churches will no longer conduct burials on Saturdays and Sundays due to interference by politicians.

There has been also a debate revolving around church donations by politicians.

Last month Deputy President Dr William Ruto vowed not to allow any law aimed at curbing church donations pass as suggested by some leaders.

Ruto spoke at Mumias ACK church where he graced the diocesan yearly prayers. He said those propagating a change of the law were non-religious people who do not value the importance of churches.

He further warned those pushing for the law reforms that it won’t happen in Kenya and they had to move out if they wanted to achieve their agenda.

The DP also cited that politicians engaging in such debates will fail and they and their parties will perish too.

He quoted the bible from Deuteronomy 8.19, saying the nation will continue to be a God-fearing State.

“Any political party or politician that attempts to undermine what God intends by any means including passing legislation that is against the word of God, will perish,” said Ruto.

He took a swipe at leaders opposing his generous donations in churches, saying they lacked gratefulness to God who brought to them the same leadership.

Is this the cause of the decision by Bishop Joseph Wandera to stop conducting weekend burials? And do you think this will stop politicians from politicking over the weekends?
