Anglican Church of Kenya St. Thomas Amagoro Vicar-General Rev Isabella Inyele has likened those who carried our the
macabre killing of Kasipul MP Charles Were to biblical Judas.
Addressing mourners during the burial service of a prominent Amagoro businessman,
David Omonya, at Kimasat village in Amagoro Sub Location, Teso North Sub county on Friday, May 2, the prelate prevailed upon God to intervene and save Kenya from “political assassinations.”
” Those who ended the life of the two-time MP Were had the heart of Judas who betrayed Jesus with 30 pieces of silver, and that spirit has followed them,” Isabella said.
Rev Isabella blamed the death of the MP to politics and leadership and asked: ” How much much were those who executed the bizarre killing by their master(s)? Even if it was “Ksh100m,” it’s satanic heart, which will haunt them in eternity.
The priest added: ” Athlough the killing of the MP was executed in Nairobi, this scenario is experienced in other parts of the country with some culprits dumped in trenches to disguise their deaths.”
Busia County Assembly Deputy Speaker Ronald Ochalu said the killing of the Kasipul MP was orchestrated by people who have selfish hearts and gunning for power.
The Deputy Speaker added that an MCA from Bumala in Busia county has been in hiding with imminent death threats, which he didn’t expound on.
Malaba Central MCA aspirant Moses Imai urged mourners to give leaders a chance to deliver services to wananchi. He also delivered PAS Arthur Osiya condolence message. Another area aspirant Okima
thanked God for removing him from the drunkards club.
