So, hio ingine ni porojo, we forget about it, wasamehewe na sisi tuendelee na kazi yetu ,” he said.

Earlier on, reports emerged indicating that Mudavadi, Senator Wetangula and other leaders stormed out of the consecration service after Archbishop Ole Sapit stated that no politician would be allowed to address the congregation henceforth.

Ole Sapit announced that going forward, no politician attending any service at an ACK Church in Kenya should be allowed to access the pulpit and address faithful during a service.
