Churches Led By Manic Pastors Need To Be Shut Down By The Government, Says Ahmednassir

The Kenya Kwanza administration has been encouraged by Senior Council Ahmednassir Abdullahi to deal severely with errant preachers and shut down their churches.

In a Tweet on Friday, April 26, Ahmednassir urged the government to exert the same pressure it has in the past on Muslim imams who were discovered to be endorsing extreme ideologies.

According to Ahmednassir, previous Kenyan administrations have shuttered mosques owned by extremist Muslim Imams, imprisoned several people, and assassinated a large number of Imams in public. The municipal attorney stated that although the extrajudicial execution of the rebel pastors was wrong, those found guilty should face the law.

I don’t support the extrajudicial execution of evangelical pastors, but Kenya has to shut the churches led by insane pastors, he continued. Following a warning from Interior CS Kithure Kindiki that the government will not tolerate any religious leader using the church as cover to harm Kenyans, he made his comments.

“The government won’t take its foot off the accelerator…We will come for you, heavy and hard, regardless of who you know in Kenya or even in the spiritual world, Kindiki said in Kilifi.

We will come for you, heavy and hard, regardless of who you know in Kenya or even in the spiritual world, he said.

The Interior CS gave Kenyans the assurance that the government will combat cultism in the same way it combats terrorism.

“I also want to reassure the nation that in the same way we have defeated armed terrorists, we will also defeat these terrorists who are hiding behind scriptures and purporting that we will fear them because they are quoting God,” Kindiki said.

Over 110 bodies had been removed as of Friday from the 800-acre site in Shakahola, Kilifi County.
