The Atheist Society of Kenya now assert that they endorse the declaration of Mama Ida that religious institutions-churches should be controlled by the State.
On Sunday, Ida Odinga, who spoke in Kisumu, asked the National Council of Churches of Kenya(NCCK) to disband houses of worship that are not governed by professional theologians.
Ida stated that numerous little churches had sprung up in the previous several years, emphasizing that they were not productive since their pastors had not been properly trained.
Ida’s words have prompted outcry in the spiritual sphere but Atheist in Kenya organization president, Harisson Mumia, said his people back Ida Odinga’s proposal to govern churches.
“We accept the statements made by former Premier Raila Odinga’s spouse, Ida Odinga on 30th January 2022 requesting the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) to abolish institutions that are not led by qualified theologians.” They stated in their statement.
Earlier today, through her Press Team, Mama Ida Odinga issued a statement apologizing over the remarks.
