A Kenyan cathedral identified as The AIPCA Gathaithi Church has reimbursed a donation of a whooping sum of Kshs 1.2million offered to them by the country’s deputy president.
It was accounted that the church decided to retreat the grant following a speech by the president which warns the church leaders “to shun money whose source was questionable”.
The Church then sent a letter to the deputy president to disclose their reasons for refunding the money to him through a letter which reads;
“We are very thankful to you for coming to our church last year in September where you donated Kshs 2 million for our project. Whilst the money was not delivered to us in full as pledged, the gesture was greatly appreciated.
“A couple of days ago, the president, while speaking in Sagana challenged the church leadership to shun money whose source was questionable.
“As a church, we do not take political sides, but the allegations by the president against you are grave and cannot be ignored.
“Consequently, we have made a decision as the leadership of AIPCA church to return to you the sum of Kshs 1.2 million (the total amount received from the Kshs 2 million pledged).
“Enclosed: please find attached two cheques drawn in your favour each valued at Kshs 600,000 shillings.
“Please note that this action is not a condemnation of your character, but is a reflection of our commitment to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and our profound obligation to lead the flock by example.
“We again sincerely thank you for your generosity to our church and wish to invite you to worship with us at any time”.
