Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi was on Friday asked not to engage in politics while he was giving his speech at a church-led function.
While addressing congregants, Sudi said the Finance Bill will help young people access education with ease.
However, while he was almost concluding his speech, Sudi was interrupted by the priest.
The priest asked him not to engage in politics during the church service.
"Nimemaliza Father nimemaliza," Sudi said.
"Tafadhali maliza, wewe unaingia siasa, wewe maliza hii ni siasa," the priest said.
Sudi replied by answering that he was not engaging in politics.
The priest went ahead to inform him to speak on matters concerning spirituality.
"Tuonyeshe vile unajua mambo ya kiroho sio siasa," the priest said.
Sudi added that the priest knows him spiritually and they have deliberated on many issues for many days.
He finished his speech by thanking the congregation and wishing blessings upon them.
Most politicians have been known for propagating political talks at church functions.
This comes as the country is facing a debate on the Finance Bill 2024.
Kenyans took to the streets to protest against the Finance Bill terming it as 'punitive'.
On Thursday, MPs passed the Finance Bill, 2024 at the second reading stage with 204 MPs voting yes while 115 rejected.
The Bill proceeds to the Committee of the whole House for consideration of proposed amendments.
MPs are expected to take a vote on the Bill on Tuesday, June 25.
