Two pastors at a local church in Nyaisera area, Gucha in Kisii County are currently being held at Ogembo police station after they fought in church on Sunday.
It is alleged that the two pastors, Pius Onsongo and his assistant Lawrence Kirera engaged in a physical fight after a disagreement ensued between them.
"Church followers had thronged to the church to elect new officials but, Onsongo disputed the election of new officials on grounds that the previous team was competent. On the other hand, Mr. Kirera sided with church members to push for the election of new officials in the church," said Alexinah Nyaboke.
Nyaboke said Onsongo was angered by Kirera's decision and started fighting.
"Onsongo hit Kirera one fist on the head prompting to the fight which lasted for 10 minutes as church members scampered for safety," she noted.
Area assistant chief Nicholas Mong'iti condemned the pastors saying they were a bad example to church members.
"I apprehended the pastors and surrendered them to Ogembo police station where they are currently being booked from where they will be taken to court," he said.
He warned residents against unnecessary fights saying legal procedure should be used to solve differences.
