  "summary": "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.",
