History 030624

June 3, 1990: Bishop Alexander Kipsang Muge (extreme right) attacks Dr. Timothy Murere Njoya over questions he put to former Vice-President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga last week and said there was tribalism in the church. The outspoken bishop said the questions Rev. Njoya put to Mr. Odinga were false presentations that had no theological support. Bishop Muge of the Eldoret CPK Diocese recalled that Rev. Njoya had asked Mr. Odinga whether he considered his long silence during the present debate on multi-party politics to be a conspiracy against God and the country’s future. Mr. Odinga replied that he had been forced to keep quiet because “human beings forget quickly”. Noting that conspiracy, according to the Oxford Advanced Dictionary meant “to make plans to overthrow the government”, the bishop said the question implied that Mr. Odinga’s silence was a conspiracy to overthrow the Kingdom of God. Bishop Muge was speaking during thanksgiving-service to mark the 7th anniversary of his diocese at the site of a proposed cathedral in Eldoret town. The Bishop is seen here in talks to members of the press, among them Catherine Gicheru (with beret) of Nation, outside the Eldoret Municipal council offices after presenting a memorandum of the Kanu Review Committee in August 1990.
