The ACK Most Rev. Dr. Jackson Ole Sapit has urged Kenyans not to be swayed by teachings from individuals who want to be praised using God’s word duping them to follow their practices hence end up involving in things that cost their lives.
On a one on one interview on Mumbo FM radio during Breakfast show dubbed Kemumbo today, Rev. Ole Sapit said Kenyans are fond of following miracles instead of being guided by God’s teachings.
He condemned the Shakahola incident where hundreds of Kenyans lost their lives and more than 200 bodies retrieved at the moment saying the respective bodies in the government failed in their mandate since the accused person –Paul Mackenzie- was arrested some years back and released, saying releasing him was wrong since there is evidence all over that shows he is culpable where hundreds have lost lives and bodies are being retrieved. He added that the persons who failed in their duties on the Shakahola issue should be taken to court and charged.
Due to this, the man of God proposed that the church bodies be given mandate to give a go ahead on the registration of churches so that when a church goes against the stipulated doctrines can recommend for de-registration.
Rev. Ole Sapit opposed the same sex marriage as being pushed by other countries saying the ACK church teachings revolve around God’s teachings citing that as God created a man He gave him a woman same to animals and anything against that is an attack to humanity.
God’s man urged President William Ruto to consider balancing his appointments to ensure that all Kenyans are represented in his government to make his service delivery easy and avoid a perception where some Kenyans feel that are left out.
He however said that, some Executive members have questions on their integrity and the President appointed them despite having ethical issues, saying if the President will continue with the war on graft as he did in the KEMSA and KEBS scandal the country will be heading to the right direction.
He urged Kenyans to support the President in implementing his manifesto as he added that it is too early to judge Kenya Kwanza government as it is still in the early stages of positioning itself as he said the President has tried and implemented the reduction of production by subsidizing fertilizer hence looking forward for abundant harvest that will help reduce high cost of living.
He also urged the government to check on the fuel prices and basic commodities since Kenyans are finding it difficult to cope up with life due to the biting economy.
The ACK Arch-Bishop advised the two teams involving in the bipartisan talks to first agree on the issues they want to address especially those affecting Kenyans and avoid mixing politics with the talks. He cited that the two teams should talk about the ways to improve lives of Kenyans, about the economy, creating the opposition office that will help offer checks and balances to the government and stabilize the country. He wanted them to avoid having firm stand on the election issues where the opposition side want the servers be opened reminding them on the court ruling by the Supreme Court about the winner of the 2022 General Elections.
He said demonstration is a way of human beings expressing their dissatisfaction if other ways have failed citing that the Kenyan Constitution allows picketing so long as lives and property is not interfered with. He condemned demonstrations that occur in Kenya since are used by criminals to steal, destroy property and stone innocent Kenyans.
The man of God defended the State House prayers since after the prayers church leaders discuss issues affecting Kenyans that need to be addressed by the Head of State saying the relationship of the church and the government is parallel since every institution has its roles to play adding that the church only gives direction to ensure that Kenyans get proper services from available resources.
He affirmed his stand about politics in the church saying he not only stopped politics in ACK churches during campaigns where political leaders could insult one another before the congregation but still insisted that politicians can hold their rallies after church services outside the church.
