Siaya Senator James Orengo has called for peace at the Maseno West ACK Diocese church.
Orengo who was speaking on Sunday in Siaya town, urged the members of the church not to split.
"Good leaders are chosen by God. I urge the clergy and Christians to understand we have only one bishop and one church to serve God. If we serve God in truth and good deeds, we will realise development," Orengo stated.
Wrangles emerged at the church when a section of its members called for its split.
Some members from Ramula and Regea Deaneries last week filed a petition to form a new diocese to be named Maseno Central diocese.
The rain started beating the church after the election of Bishop Godia in 2019.
The bishop was elected to take over from Joseph Otieno Wasonga whose term had expired.
Those who are calling for the formation of a new diocese have argued that the current leadership of the Maseno West Diocese is not in a position to promote unity.
Other leaders who joined Orengo in advocating for peace and unity at the church include Siaya Governor Cornell Rasanga, Senator James Orengo, MP for Alego Usonga Sam Atandi, MP for Ugunja Opiyo Wandayi and MP for Ugenya David Ochieng.
