Economic advisor Moses Kuria has condemned the chaos witnessed at a church attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
In a statement on Sunday, April 6, Kuria, known for his outspoken remarks, criticized the politicization of religious spaces.
"This is utterly ungodly. Leave your backward and primitive political wars out of places of worship. Today was AIPCA Kenol re-loaded. The lightning that will strike us is still loading. Pole sana Rigathi Gachagua," he said.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka also weighed in on the matter, calling the incident a national shame and called out President William Ruto.
"The attack on second deputy president Rigathi Gachagua at Kasarani PCEA Church, Mwiki was a national shame. We call out these State-sponsored militia as workers of inequity and servants of the devil. Why would you commit violence in Church?

"Please Mr Ruto, stop it! Mr Ruto, why would you pay your citizens to attend your meetings? Something is very wrong. Your fundamentals are compromised. You can't bribe people all the time nor carry on lying to Kenyans all the time," he stated.
Earlier Sunday, Gachagua was attending a church service at PCEA Mwiki in Kasarani when suspected goons raided the place of worship.
While the situation was dealt with, Gachagua condemned the incident which he described as a targeted attempt to intimidate him.
Additionally, he claimed that the disruption was politically motivated and linked the events directly to President William Ruto.
"Unfortunately, there are concerted efforts to curtail our freedom to move around the country and associate with like-minded people. I did not mind Ruto sending goons after me but in church? Surely? What has happened to you, Mr. President?" he questioned.
Gachagua further alleged that Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja played a role in the incident, adding that the police were instructed to stand down during the incident.
"You don’t care anymore that, through Nairobi Governor Sakaja, you are sending goons to cause trouble in the church. That’s okay; you can continue. We are aware that the Deputy Inspector General instructed the police not to come," he added.
