PCEA general secretary Peter Kariuki mobilised 4.5 million church members across East Africa to help those affected by Covid-19, only to be felled himself by the virus. Kariuki, who had been the general secretary since 2015, is survived by a widow, three children and a granddaughter. PCEA moderator Julius Mwamba said Kariuki was ordained a minister in 1997 and had held numerous church positions before becoming general secretary. ODM leader Raila Odinga said in Rev Kariuki's death,"the PCEA Church has lost a steadfast and dependable preacher. "As a result of his efforts as secretary general, the church has undergone a period of sustained growth," he added.
