“We as the government we don’t have a problem with any religion and we are not fighting the church at all we are also serious Christians ourselves but we will continue to correct a few churches and pastors who use the bible wrongly to intimidate and exploit Kenyans ,” The CS said.

He also said that the constitution has given freedom of worship and the government will not allow politicians to incite Christians and fuel unnecessary conflict.

“This time we are not going to sympathize or fear anybody so am warning those making careless remarks and noise politicking a criminal act that we are coming  for you irrespective of your political class or status,” he stated.
