The leadership of Nomiya Church says it will excommunicate members who visited President Uhuru Kenyatta last week.

Archbishop Jared Gondi said a synod would be called to rubberstamp the decision “because the members represented the church at a meeting with the President without permission”.

He said such punishment would instill discipline in the church.

“We will crack the whip as a way of ensuring that church members abide by and respect our principles,” he said, laughing off the delegation’s endorsement of Mr Kenyatta’s re-election bid.

During the State House visit on Tuesday last week, the faithful were led by their Supreme Archbishop Caleb Olali.

“The members of Nomiya Faith Churches assured the President of their support, saying his leadership has proved its capability in terms of development in the Nyanza region and beyond,” read a dispatch from PSCU.
