Social media was set ablaze after a video of West Pokot Member of Parliament David Pkosing being lectured by a pastor after he disrupted a church service in his constituency emerged.
The video seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed the legislator arriving at the church event accompanied by female dancers donned in traditional and modern wear while singing.
According to the video, the dances disrupted the church service which was already underway prompting the pastor in charge of the ceremony to intervene.
''I want the MP (Pkosing) to know that even as he comes, there is God and he is not in any way greater than God,’’ the pastor interjected to the surprise of the congregation.
''The honourable member should learn to come to the meetings early. We do not want leaders coming late and interfering with the church,’’ he added.
The pastor continued lecturing the legislator, urging him to respect God before he broke into the local dialect.
''Are you more than God? That is a mistake and if you know that you are a leader, come earlier. We are preaching yet you interfere with divine circumstances,’’ the agitated pastor added.
This happened as Pkosing removed the traditional signature hat that he had donned while bowing before the pastor as a show of respect.
Moments just before the pastor began his lectures, a man wearing a suit moved in to block the MP together with his dancers while telling them that there was a church ceremony already underway.
However, it was not immediately clear to Kenyans.co.ke as to whether the legislator was invited to the event or was gatecrashing.
The drama happened as Pkosing was left standing in amazement together with his entourage that had accompanied him as the situation continued to grow tense.
The drama unfolded following a backlash from the Catholic and Anglican Churches towards the government. Over the past week, the church accused the government of fostering a culture of 'disrespect'.
Catholic Church, in particular, rejected a Ksh5.8 million donation of which they had received Ksh2.8 million extended by President William Ruto during a service on Sunday.
