The Anglican Church has renewed its ban on all politicians from speaking in church. ODM leader Raila Odinga and his ANC counterpart Musalia Mudavadi were among the first victims of the directive as they were on Sunday forced to sit quietly in the congregation at a ceremony in Butere.

Anglican Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit said political leaders had violated the sacred nature of the altar. The announcement came as Nyeri Catholic Diocese Archbishop
Anthony Muheria pleaded with catholic priests in the country to
reclaim the altar.
