Saturday, November 16, 2024 – Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has come to the defense of Catholic bishops who are accused by some Kenyans of not being consistent in calling out the government after their strong statement on Thursday criticizing President William Ruto.

In particular, Sufuna hit out at musician Henry Ohanga aka Octopizzo, challenging the rapper to elaborate on his own statements calling out the government.

The ODM senator dared him to testify about the statements he made against the police brutality he witnessed during the Gen Z protests.

“Edwin Sifuna, June 25th was the day and they didn’t need 4 working days with over 60 people killed to make a statement,” the musician stated.

“Si utukee statement yako ya 25th tuone (Show us the statement you made on June 25th). How many working days will it take?” the senator challenged the musician.

Sifuna was among prominent leaders who defended the bishops after he was called out by some Kenyans for their recent remarks on Ruto’s administration.

According to the lawmaker, the bishops have been consistent in calling out the government for mistakes, even sharing previous statements that were issued by the clergy.

“I am not the best Christian, shetani hunikalia from time to time, but I am proud of my Church for being consistent in standing up for what is right.

“The bishops speak for me. I will speak for them!” he remarked.
