There was drama in a church in Molo when the preacher ordered a seat be taken out after Governor Kinuthia Mbugua sat on it, at the pulpit.
The classy seat, said to have cost Sh30, 000, had been donated to St Mary’s Catholic church in Molo by a local businessman who went ahead to call the governor to come and ‘test’ it.
FR Anthony Kinuthia, who was presiding the service, was angry at the move. He said it was wrong for a politician to sit on a gift given to the church at the pulpit.
“It is very wrong for you to allow a person to sit on a gift meant for the church at the pulpit. It is not acceptable to the church,” the priest said.The seat was taken out immediately as he insisted the church can no longer accept it.Governor Kinuthia later apologized for the mishap. He said he was not aware they had broken the rules of the church. “I did not know that Kahuria would call me to the pulpit. Receive my apologies and those of my supporters,” the governor said.
