Chairman Bishop Dr.Joseph Methu through a press statement they distributed to
newsrooms in the Kenyan capital on Monday, July 02 stated that the trend of
maiming and killing innocent people must be stopped immediately by the Government
of Kenya and the International community.
The
statement added that the Church sees mischief on the manner of which the issue
of security was being handled by the country`s security agents.
The
Church said that should this trend of killing innocent people in places of
worship continue then the Church may have to declare this period as a
dispensation of persecution by criminals and religious fundamentalists.

in the federation feel that this fight against enemies of peace and tranquility
must be fought consistently as this pandemic may consume the whole Nation if it
is not taken seriously``, read part of the statement.
