The chairman National Council of Churches of Kenya in Migori Bishop John Okinda has asked Kenyans not to drag religion in the war on terror.

Speaking in Migori town Bishop Okinda condemned the Kenyans who were dragging Islam to the recent terror attack at Dusit D2 hotel in Nairobi.

This is after a number of Kenyans flooded their social media accounts with messages linking the Islamic religion to the attack that left at least 14 people dead according to government reports.

The National PEFA churches of Kenya Secretary General dismissed those reports saying that evil was not a preserve of any religion.

“Evil does not care which religion you are in. There are Christians who are evil, in the same way there are Muslims who are evil,” Okinda said.

Okinda urged Kenyans not to start pointing fingers for the sake of the unity among Kenyans.

“We as a church we are still praying for unity so that all religious people of this republic can move together work together without discrimination,” Okinda explained.

But Okinda maintained that the church was strongly against terrorism and will not sympathize with terrorists.

The NCCK also urged the government to beef up security along our borders, especially the Kenya-Tanzania border in Migori.

“We would like that we can be secure not only in Nairobi, but also in Isebania,” the Bishop said.

He urged that the government train Kenyans and various agencies on disaster management to deal with such cases as that which occurred in 14 rivers drive in Nairobi.

This he said includes infrastructure development such as roads to ease movement during such situation availing required resources such as fire engines.

“For instance Migori County government does not have a fire engine to even put up a small fire and this is a disaster in itself,” he said.

Bishop Okinda urged Kenyans to continue praying for those who were nursing injuries from the attack as well as those families that had lost loved ones and friends.
