SDA Evangelist under fire for declaring An SDA evangelist is under fire for telling a Kisumu congregation on Saturday that โ€œformer PM Raila Odinga cannot Okoa Kenya.โ€

Church elder Mikaya Omondi reportedly told Mamboleo church that only Jesus, and not Raila Odinga, can โ€œokoa Kenyaโ€.

โ€œThe congregation did not approve of his statement leading to prolonged silence and murmurs of disapproval thereafter,โ€ a source at the church told the Star. The source sought anonymity for fear of being excommunicated.

Omondi, while preaching during the service dubbed โ€œspiritual youth day Sabbathโ€, told the youth to refrain from violence and focus on spiritual intervention for dispute resolution.

Pastor Elijah Atito who attended the service defended Omondi. โ€œThe people of Kenya must know that neither Cord nor Jubilee can okoa (save) Kenya. Only Jesus Christ can,โ€ he said.

He advised Kenyans to turn to Christ to overcome their tribulations and said they should find comfort in the National Anthem.

โ€œIt is prudent for Kenyans to always turn to the first Stanza of our National Anthem which goes, O God of all creation, Bless this our land and nation, Justice be our shield and defender, May we dwell in unity, peace and liberty, Plenty be found within our borders, for encouragement,โ€ he said.

Atito said the SDA church has not yet taken a position on the referendum.
