In Summary


• Woman Rep Catherine Waruguru stormed the church service in Nanyuki on Sunday after nominated MP Maina Kamanda had spoken.

• Bishop Ndirangu Ngunjiri warned Waruguru of loss of popularity if she continues with her disruptive politics

AIPCA Laikipia East diocese Bishop Ndirangu Ngunjiri during the press conference at St Paul church in Nanyuki town yesterday.

 

The AIPCA Laikipia East diocese has demanded an apology from Woman Rep Catherine Waruguru for storming a church service in Nanyuki on Sunday.

Bishop Ndirangu Ngunjiri on Monday accused Waruguru of being used by a senior national government official to cause chaos in churches.

 

This, he warned at a press conference, will lose her popularity.

“We ask national leaders using other leaders of lower cadre to disrupt other people’s meeting to desist as they will lose God’s blessings,” the bishop said in an apparent reference to Deputy President William Ruto.

The Sunday service was attended by among others nominated MP Maina Kamanda.

Waruguru, who is allied to the Tangatanga wing of Jubilee, was denied the chance to address the congregation and left in a huff.

Kamanda is in Kieleweke faction of the ruling party.  He addressed the congregation and left after the Woman Representative's arrival.

The bishop sensationally said Waruguru arrived in the church while drunk allegedly with hired hooligans from Nyahururu and Dandora in Nairobi.

“I personally chased the MP and her over 200 drunkards away because they chanted slogans like Mama Yetu,” Ngunjiri said.

 

He said leaders like Waruguru were attracting a curse upon themselves and their descendants by disrupting church services.

The previous Sunday, Kiharu MP Ndidi Nyoro confronted Kamanda at a Catholic church in Murang'a. He has since apologised to the church and Kamanda.

Waruguru said by phone yesterday that she would not respond to the accusations by the AIPCA leadership.

“I am not of his level. The church is the place where the drunkards and the sinners belong,” she said.
