Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has called on churches to remain sanctuaries of peace and unity.
Speaking during service at St Pascal Catholic Church in Chiga, Homa Bay County, on Sunday, PS Omollo, who was accompanied by ODM leader Oburu Oginga, Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi and other leaders, urged religious leaders to safeguard the sanctity of church pulpits by ensuring they are used to promote peace, unity and national cohesion rather than political intolerance and divisive rhetoric.
The PS said the church plays a critical role in shaping societal values, nurturing responsible citizens and fostering harmony within communities and it has a responsibility to speak out against misinformation, hatred and actions that threaten the country's unity.
