Drama in church as clergy reject seat because governor sat on it

There was drama at a Catholic Church in Molo after clergy rejected a seat worth Ksh30, 000 presented as a gift to the church after Nakuru County Governor Kinuthia wa Mbugua sat on it first.

Members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church were treated to the peculiar incident on Sunday March 26th after the area popular businessman Joseph Kahuria’s maiden gift was rejected by the church after he summoned the governor, who was gracing the church’s special thanksgiving occasion, to sit on it and testify about its comfort to the congregation.

Unfortunately, after his flossy moment, the treatment that the businessman received from the padre was entirely different from what he expected.

“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’s doctrines,” the padre told him and the bemused congregation who wondered why the church would not accept the gift.

Fr. Antony further ordered the seat be taken outside, where ‘it was treated to the full wrath of the heavy downpour’ in a symbol of it undergoing cleansing.

The businessman later apologised saying “All I wanted was the governor to assure the believers that the seat was very comfortable before it could be blessed. I wasn’t aware I was going against the rules.”

In his address, Governor Kinuthia avoided the issue, instead focusing on matters politics and urging residents to maintain and champion for peace before and after the August Polls.
