A section of Kisii leaders led by Deputy Governor Joash Maangi condemned the priest's killing and asked Kenyan authorities to act fast to ensure justice is served to the deceased family. 

Kisii Parish Bishop John Mairura who ordained the priest argued that the deceased was committed in his work.

“Death has snubbed him at a youthful age when he was to serve the church well. Let his soul rest in peace,” said Mairura.

Kisii University Catholic Chaplain Lawrence Nyaanga said Omboto was at the front line to save souls but, the soldiers terminated his life. 

"He was not armed. His work was to preach the Gospel. Soldiers should respect God," he noted.
