Dr Emily Onyango during her consecration as the first woman assistant bishop of Anglican Church Bondo diocese. On Saturday, a priest in the Anglican Church of Kenya realised her childhood dream of being among the first women leaders in the church. Rev Dr Emily Onyango, a lecturer at St Paul’s University described her consecration and enthronement as the first woman assistant bishop of Bondo diocese as something that was always meant to be. But on Saturday, the newly consecrated bishop said that the matter was the extra costs that her office was coming in with, but her appointment as a woman bishop. Onyango, currently a lecturer at St Paul’s University’s department of Theology and Development studies, has been a canon in Bondo Diocese since February 2018.
