The Catholic church has asked Kenyans to treat as fake news a letter doing rounds on social media purporting that the Bishops have given Garisa Town MP Aden Duale 72 hours to apologize.
A secretary to one of the Bishops in Kenya said the letter is fake and is being spined by people who want to blow a “simple matter out of proportion”
The priest requested anonymity.
The fake letter was purportedly signed by Mombasa Archbishop Martin Kivuva Musonde the KCCB Chairman.
Speaking to Hot News, Duale said he never referred to the Catholic Church as a cult.
During an interview with Citizen TV on Wednesday night, Duale said ODM is a cult where nobody can speak.
“ODM is a cult where nobody can speak…. it’s like the Catholic Church that has its own structures, it has the pope, but Jubilee is a very Democratic Party. I don’t condone those who use vulgar and unpalatable words but those are found in every political formation,” he said.
Duale said his remark was about the ODM Party and not the Catholic Church.
“I have tremendous respect for the Catholic Church and its elaborate structures. Am a man of faith who respects all the teachings of other religions,” Duale said.
“What I meant was that sometimes you can run a political party like the structures of the Catholic Church. I have a lot of respect for the church.”
