A rare incident was witnessed on Sunday morning at a local church in Motagara area, Nyamira County after angry faithfuls roughed up their pastor.
Faithfuls claimed that the New Life Church pastor Ezekiel Anyega has been mismanaging the church.
"We are tired condoning Anyega's poor style of leadership in the church. We roughed him up when he turned up in the church to preach late yet last week we agreed he was to show up in time so that we can discuss on how some funds which meant for the church construction went missing mysteriously," said an angry faithful Jemimah Onsombi.
Japhet Mochere said Anyega disrespects church members.
"He never recognizes us as church followers. He is abusive and rude. We have taught him a good lesson and no one is going to allow him back to this church," said Mochere.
A community policing official Julius Mabuka condemned the church faithfuls saying beating the man of God is a sin.
"Residents should stop taking the law into their hands. They could have reported the pastor to authorities over the missing money," he said.
