Banana, Kiambu – June 23, 2025 — PCEA Moderator Rt. Rev. Thegu Mutahi has strongly condemned recent incidents of police brutality, calling the killings of innocent Kenyans “uncalled for” and “senseless.” He spoke on Sunday during a dedication service at PCEA Karuri Imani Church in Banana, Kiambu.
Rev. Mutahi cited the death of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang in a police cell and the near-fatal shooting of Boniface Karanja, a street vendor, as tragic examples of abuse of power. “These are not just sad stories—they are stains on our national conscience,” he said.
He demanded an end to police violence against peaceful demonstrators and urged authorities to uphold the rule of law. The Moderator also appealed to Kenyan youth to maintain peace during the upcoming June 25th protests, marking one year since the Gen-Z-led demonstrations began.
“Young people must resist being used by politicians for selfish gain. In politics, there are no permanent enemies or friends—only interests,” Rev. Mutahi warned.
He called for an end to Kenya’s cycle of political obsession and urged citizens to shift focus toward productive activities such as farming and entrepreneurship to sustain their livelihoods.
The dedication service was attended by hundreds from the seven Banana Parish congregations, led by Rev. Mary Muriuki, Parish Minister and Moderator of the Kiambu Presbytery.
The message was clear: justice, peace, and purpose must guide Kenya forward—not violence or endless political bickering.
