Bishop Kepha Omae, presiding Bishop of the Redeemed Gospel Church, said churches should not be blamed in any way when they accept politicians’ contributions. He noted that they had no mechanism to determine whether the money received from politicians consists of proceeds of corruption. “We have no right to ask you where you get your money,” said Bishop Omae in Huruma, Nairobi, last week. “Let us not allow harambee money to become a way to sanitise corrupt leaders,” the Archbishop said. adding, “that is the obligation of the courts.”Similar views were expressed by church leaders from elsewhere.
