Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]be to God.

[00:00:04]Um, I was telling my brothers that today I wore a tie. I haven't worn one for a long time because I wanted to celebrate my brother.

[00:00:17]Um, and I thank them for coming.

[00:00:22]Bishop Kimo, thank you so much.

[00:00:25]Please convey our greetings and best wishes to the preceding bishop, Bishop Abraham Mulan, whom I haven't seen for quite a while.

[00:00:36]Um, allow me to actually read just like Monani though she has changed her name to Mona.

[00:00:46]I think I want to read this and place it on record because I consider this as a truly momentous occasion. I might juxttopose it with one or two things before I invite my brothers, distinguished guests, men and women of faith, fellow Kenyans, my dear friend and colleague, the late professor George Saittoi, Kenya's sixth vice president once said once said that said words that still ring true across every hill of this republic. public. He said, and I quote, "There comes a time when the nation is greater than one person."

[00:01:33]That time, ladies and gentlemen, is now.

[00:01:38]This is not a moment for idle reflection.

[00:01:44]This is not a moment for partisan noise.

[00:01:49]This is a moment where no man can act as an island unto himself.

[00:01:58]Kenya demands more of us.

[00:02:02]Hard truths must be spoken.

[00:02:06]Hard reflections must be made.

[00:02:11]Today we must ask ask ourselves and I also want to quote what Proverbs 14:34 says and we quote righteousness exhausts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.

[00:02:29]Today we must ask ourselves what righteousness are we offering Kenya and in honor of a faithful shepherd the Reverend Dr. Matthews Kala Malwa when he's introducing his family he forgot to say one of them was merely a politician the kalola bit before we speak of what hails this nation let us first speak of what heals it and in this in this man before us today we see a picture of that healing.

[00:03:19]On this eve of Manderaka, it is both fitting and deeply moving that we pose to honor Reverend Dr. Matthews Kala Malua.

[00:03:33]Here is a man who has shouldered the spiritual and material burdens of hundreds of thousands of souls across a lifetime of devoted service.

[00:03:47]Here is a man who was looked at his calling and never one once asked what can I profit from this.

[00:03:59]He had Christ score. You had him even mentioned to his mother the call to be a fisher of men and he answered it with honor, with nobility and with the full weight of his life.

[00:04:19]He has not served for titles.

[00:04:23]For indeed, truth be told, if it was, allow me to say this, if it was not perhaps for the principle of guilty by association, the Reverend Dr. Malu would have been the preciding bishop of AIC.

[00:04:53]He has not served for wealth.

[00:04:58]He has not served for applause.

[00:05:03]He has served because he was simply called.

[00:05:08]And he served, he has served so faithfully that we must rise today and give him his due vision.

[00:05:17]Even if you don't stand, it is understood.

[00:05:21]I quote, "I am the good shepherd."

[00:05:26]The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. That was in John 10:11.

[00:05:33]The Reverend Dr. Malua has lived that scripture.

[00:05:37]He has literally laid down his comfort, convenience and personal ambition to shepherd his people with integrity and grace.

[00:05:51]Bishop Kabu, I was hoping that my brother Dr. Muk will be here. He has a whole story to tell. The one who used to live upstairs We do not celebrate him merely as a religious figure.

[00:06:15]We celebrate him. A samira held up to every leader in this room and in this country I dare say political, community and spiritual asking us or each of us are we serving or are we being served?

[00:06:40]Are we shepherds or are we hirelings who flee when the wolf comes?

[00:06:49]Reverend Dr. on behalf of my colleagues, members of the alternative government in waiting, some of whom are here.

[00:07:00]And in the evil manda day, the 63rd edition of our country's Manderea day, we salute you.

[00:07:12]Your life, your life is a sermon that no pulpit can contain.

[00:07:23]It's just in a microcosm of it. I mean the representatives of people are in this room tonight this this afternoon.

[00:07:31]Allow me then to delve a little bit because of my director to put it on record.

[00:07:38]And I want to call the next thing the assault on the church when the state fears the prophet.

[00:07:48]And it is precisely because of men like Reverend Malua, men whose lives expose the holiness of those in power that the state has now set its sights on the church.

[00:08:04]Have we not heard of the attack on ACK church in OA?

[00:08:11]Has it ever happened before?

[00:08:13]You get tear gas inside a congregation, a holy place of worship.

[00:08:21]There is today a calculated and deliberate attempt to regulate the church of the living God to license it, to register it, to bring in bring it under the thumb of the very government who sins it is called to name.

[00:08:43]Make no mistake fellow believers, this is not about protecting canyons from false prophets because you have seen the Reverend Milo has already been on it.

[00:08:56]He's gone out there to re-engineer the church. That's the way it can do.

[00:09:02]Church can self-regulate.

[00:09:08]Um, if it were about protection, they would begin by protecting us from themselves.

[00:09:20]This is about fear.

[00:09:22]When the church speaks, the powerful men and women tremble.

[00:09:29]When the pulpit thunders, boardrooms go quiet. Like you're all now going quiet.

[00:09:38]When pastors and bishops stand at the gate and say quote unquote thus far and no further, that is when the state reaches for its regulatory pain.

[00:09:52]They do not want to govern the church.

[00:09:55]They want to silence it.

[00:09:59]Quote and quote. Shout it loud. Do not hold back.

[00:10:06]Raise your voice like a trumpet.

[00:10:09]And this is the one man who loves doing the trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion. And to the descendants of Jacob their sins. I'm quoting from Messiah 51 58:1.

[00:10:24]God never asked the church to whisper.

[00:10:29]God commanded the church to shout and no act of parliament, no gazette notice, no licensing board shall silence what the Almighty has commanded to be spoken.

[00:10:45]When the apostles were dragged before the authorities in order to stop preaching, the answer is recorded for all time in Acts 5:29. quote unquote, "We must obey God rather than human beings."

[00:11:00]The church in Kenya must hold fast to that same answer today.

[00:11:07]No regulatory framework fashioned by men who are afraid of the truth shall prevail against the gates of righteousness.

[00:11:15]>> Amen.

[00:11:16]>> Let us be clear about one thing. The church is not the enemy of the state, but the church is not the servant of the state either. The church is the servant of the most high God. And when the state strays, the church must speak.

[00:11:36]That is not rebellion.

[00:11:39]That is faithfulness to our calling.

[00:11:45]I quote, "For Zion's sake, I will not keep silent.

[00:11:51]For Jerusalem's sake, I will not remain quiet till our vindication shines out like the dawn, our salvation like a blazing torch." Quote, end of quote Isaiah 62:1.

[00:12:07]To every pastor, to every bishop, reverend, and elder in Kenya, this is your hour.

[00:12:14]Do not be silenced. Do not be tamed. Do not be purchased either. Please shine.

[00:12:22]Amen.

[00:12:25]>> The third and final point I want to make is on our country again as we face up to Mandaraka day tomorrow.

[00:12:35]Kenya is hurting.

[00:12:37]The Kbaki children betrayed.

[00:12:42]Kenya is hurting and indeed our country is bleeding today.

[00:12:47]Too many families are in mourning not because of a catastrophe that no man could have foreseen but because of the deliberate and calculated ills visited upon our people by those entrusted with power.

[00:13:03]We must reflect on that and ask how can I help correct this?

[00:13:09]When our young children went to the streets, they did not go for clout.

[00:13:16]They went with a bottle of water, a mobile phone, and the Kenyan flag.

[00:13:24]They went for their survival.

[00:13:27]Survival from punishing taxation.

[00:13:30]Survival from a government that takes and takes and gives nothing back in return. These are the Kbaki children.

[00:13:41]The very first act of President M.

[00:13:43]Kbak's administration on day one was free and compulsory primary education.

[00:13:51]A declaration that every Kenyan child deserved a chance. Those children grew up. Those children studied.

[00:14:02]They sacrificed.

[00:14:04]They believed in Kenya.

[00:14:07]And what did we offer them in return?

[00:14:11]We have turned them into organized gangs.

[00:14:15]The height style. And I had evidence of this yesterday in Kyo along with Senator Cavindu.

[00:14:25]Not because they are criminals by nature, but because we denied them a Kenya of opportunity and honest work that their education and their effort deserves.

[00:14:38]Higher taxes, higher fewer levies, inadequate and in many cases non-existent funding of our schools and our universities, a healthcare system that exists only on paper.

[00:14:54]again quote unquote because the poor are plundered and the needy grown I will now rise I will now arise says the Lord I will protect them from those whom malign them this is in Psalms 125 Zakius and we are out of here we call him Zakayo as in under four years turned our beloved Republican into a banana state.

[00:15:27]Not because Kenyans did not pay their taxes. They paid.

[00:15:32]But Zakar intention intentionally willfully redirected those taxes to his cronies.

[00:15:42]Your taxes are going to fund private jets dispatched to watch international football.

[00:15:51]I'm a fan of Arsenal and we are still licking our wounds.

[00:16:02]I went and watched as the manu people were heard whispering everywhere if these people won we'll have no place to go. Well, I'm also actually the patronos of Apaka Club hereongu here in Kenya. I intend to work with them.

[00:16:26]Your taxes have gone to a selected few few wallets to bankroll their nest collection of watches and designer suits.

[00:16:40]Your taxes have gone to people who willfully and illegally requisitioned your land, converting your free titles to leaseold by the stroke of a corrupt pen.

[00:16:54]Again biblically at Jeremiah 22:13, "Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his own people work for nothing, not not paying them for their labor." That verse was written for such a time as this, for such a government as this. And that is why we say clearly, firmly and without apology, combo Kenya.

[00:17:28]Combo Kenya is not a slogan.

[00:17:31]It is not a campaign jingle. It is a covenant with every young Kenyan who went to the streets carrying nothing but water, a flag, and a dream. It is a promise that the alternative government in waiting will build a Kenya of opportunity, of honest work, of accountable leadership. A Kenya where your taxes build schools and hospitals, not wardrobes and hangers.

[00:18:03]A closing word my friends, fellow Kenyans, as we mark Madaraka the day this nation won the freedom to govern itself, let us remember that freedom is not a destination.

[00:18:19]It is a responsibility renewed by every generation that dares to demand better. To the young people of Kenya, your government failed you, but your nation has not. We are coming.

[00:18:35]But Bishop Kimoyo, we are not coming right here like that preacher who could only remember I am coming to the church.

[00:18:50]Do not bow. Please do not bow.

[00:18:54]Do not be bought for heaven's sake.

[00:18:58]The same God who opened the Red Sea, who shut the mouths of those lions, who raised the dead, that God is still on the throne, speak his truth without fear.

[00:19:15]To all Kenyans, the ballot box is mightier than the private jet.

[00:19:21]The people's voice is mightier than any boardroom deal.

[00:19:26]The truth spoken from pulpits, from streets, from the village squares is mightier than any propaganda machine.

[00:19:37]Komba Kenya, God bless the family. Our brother Reverend Malua, your assignment has just begun.

[00:19:47]the next level.

[00:19:49]The next level and I will even talk to my colleagues if you find the Reverend Dr. Mala because he's still able still able was chaplain da he was uh got his I was there to see him feel it feel the pain being retrenched and I can also here tell you church our sister Janet our brother's spouse is not And now speaking as a member of AIC, I saw the pain the late Bishop Kibuni went through and what our sister Panina has start to endure.

[00:20:40]And I heard you bishop Kimuyo talk of HR. I think you are now the one actually you said you're in charge of HR. I know you do something.

[00:20:52]Please do not say Malu has retired and then he cannot find breakfast the following day.

[00:21:00]This to me is critical because a church must be able to do the next thing.

[00:21:10]The preachers of yesterday years used to be told by they are supposed to be poor.

[00:21:23]Now the world has changed. These are men who have ministered to so many of us personally. I've benefited so much. My wife pollen and I I don't think a day ever goes by without a reverend calling me and say how is pollen?

[00:21:40]We still await our miracle. I know Bishop Kimoyu, we had a a working time with my wife. Let us all remember that each we are each other's keeper until the Lord comes.

[00:21:56]Therefore, it will be really a big shame for on the part of all of us to see the children of Reverend Malu. But I think it's again that I've been young and old. I've never seen the children of the Russians.

[00:22:12]Yeah. Call for bread.

[00:22:15]Well, some of them may not because I know there's a a learned friend of mine, Mui. Where's Mui again? She's an advocate of the high court working I think even in the attorney general's department. But the parents themselves need support. That is why I'm going to ask if you allow us today before we leave this place after this wonderful singing and the casangas will never grow old. I've seen a couple that can never grow old.

[00:22:45]I think it's because of the name where they come from.

[00:22:51]But there's a place in Kangundo Senator Cavindu called Kavar that place of cold you know you take that water is your intercessence are fine.

[00:23:04]So that is what I I recommend my brothers my sisters and and wish all of us tremendous 63 63rd edition of Madaraaka day. Let us never abuse our madaka.

[00:23:20]Let us build strong. And and today you have heard Bishop Kabu, me say stuff place it on record. We must cut the next corner sharply for the church to regain the confidence even of the genes because the genesis were watching as he said the church is compromised. Where is the church? That is the truth. And some of them even said if you see you leaders giving harami in churches we will also disown you. That is how low it had gone because of the call for justice. Let us let justice reign in our country to have seen and I must conclude Reverend Ginga the Vanguard group mama Utugi. I I had lost touch with the Tugi but I know there are people in this country who really pray they really pray. So please continue that mission and if uh they allow us we'll make the Reverend Dr. Reverend Dr. Mala the chaplain at the SKM command center so he can continue to pray for us on a voluntary basis. We may not afford but I'm sure my colleagues will be there and and I think who knows he must be busy because as I said we bishop thank you so much it is not tired but retiring he's been retire re retiring so that he can serve with those remarks I'll ask my brother Waga to come and also maybe offer his compliments and and then my Brother uh Eugene Wamala I've spoken for some part on behalf of all of us but I think it is wonderful I wanted this to place this on on record because this is a man of history part of our history is actually directly linked to this very humble servant of God.

[00:25:26]Thank you.
