Internal Security Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo has called on religious leaders to protect the sanctity of churches by ensuring they remain places of worship, peace and national unity rather than platforms for political division.

Speaking during a Sunday service at St. Pascal Catholic Church in Chiga, Homa Bay County, Dr. Omollo cautioned against the growing trend of political leaders using church pulpits to spread hatred, tribalism and intolerance, saying such actions undermine the Church's spiritual mission and threaten national cohesion.

"Let us not desecrate our churches by allowing platforms meant for spiritual nourishment to be used to spread division and hatred. The Church must continue standing for truth, peace and unity," Dr. Omollo said.
