PCEA distances itself from alleged State House fundraising visit

PCEA Moderator of the 24th General Assembly, Rt Rev Thegu Mutahi, said the church was concerned by a trending video clip in which claims were made about a planned visit to State House by clergy seeking financial favours.

The Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) has distanced itself from an alleged plan by some of its clergy to visit State House in a bid to seek financial support. In a statement issued on Friday, PCEA Moderator of the 24th General Assembly, Rt Rev Thegu Mutahi, insisted that the church's independence and non-partisan character would not be compromised by its financial challenges.

Mutahi emphasized that PCEA is a "respectable, independent and non-partisan Church" and reiterated its commitment to maintaining its principles and public role, even in the face of financial difficulties.
