Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday sensationally spoke of traitors in government, saying they would not benefit from their ways.
Uhuru, who was speaking during the episcopal ordination of Auxiliary Bishops Simon Peter Kamomoe and Wallace Nganga without naming them, likened the “traitors” to Judas Iscariot.
“Mambo inaendelea kua ngumu na saa ingine mtu hupotea, na akipotea anatafuta pastor….We have taken leadership thinking it means lording it over everyone else, it is not.
“Tumeskia mambo ya wasaliti. Usaliti ni mwingi sana; lakini kwa wasaliti tunawaambia hata Judas alisaliti Yesu lakini hizo hela pesa aliziwacha na akaenda akatafuta kamba akajinyonga,” said Uhuru.
At the same time, Uhuru called on the church to continue defending the rights of Kenyans.
The former head of state said the church is critical to the social and economic development of a country.
Uhuru also noted that many Kenyans look to the church for guidance in these difficult moments.
“It is said that the church is the conscience of society. We must always ask ourselves, especially the leadership, whether we are still faithful to that calling. Are we still conscious of society or have we forgotten that role?
“I pray that God will continue to bless our country and our fellow citizens. Let us continue to love one another, and may the Church ensure that it plays its role in defending the rights of the people of Kenya,” he said.
The former head of state also urged leaders in various positions to work with the church to find solutions to the challenges facing Kenyans.
