Mbeere ACK Diocese Bishop Moses Mashamba has threatened to ban politicians spreading tribalism, clannism and hatred in his congregation.
He said he had directed all pastors not to allow such aspirants to address worshippers.
Mashamba spoke on Sunday at ACK St Stephen’s Mutuobare church, Mbeere South, during the church consecration.
He said some leaders in the community are known for spreading hatred, tribalism and clannism during electioneering.
The bishop said anyone seeking leadership in Mbeere North and South should be given equal respect and the opportunity to present their manifestos without discrimination.
He said the church has already dispatched a team that will monitor the entry of all aspirants, some known for hate speech, and they will be barred.
Present was also USAWA na Mama Foundation CEOJane Mbuthia.
Mbuthia, who is eyeing the Mbeere South MP position, said for more than 50 years, Mbeere people have been electing a gender that has totally failed to deliver.
She said the time has come for women to take over leadership positions and bring change voters have been yearning for.
Mbuthia said if given a chance in the 2022 general elections, she will introduce consultative leadership where everyone will be a team player.
