Renowned Kenyan gospel musician and minister Reuben Kigame has condemned Kisumu Senator Fred Outa over his remarks at the ODM Lower Nyanza meeting that was held in Kisumu on Monday.
During the meeting, Senator Outa appeared to worship Raila Odinga, likening the ODM leader to the Biblical Jesus Christ and himself to the disciples.
Like the disciples were given the great commission to go out and baptize the masses, Outa noted that his mission is to go out and preach the BBI gospel.
His remark did not augur well with Kigame who reminded him that “God cannot be mocked”.
“I strongly condemn yesterday’s blasphemy by Hon Outa: ‘Baba I am your disciple and I have come to this meeting to be filled with the holy spirit of BBI so that I can go and preach the gospel to all Kenya beginning with Jerusalem which is Kisumu.’ Warning: God cannot be mocked!” he tweeted.
