Interior Principal Secretary (PS) Dr. Raymond Omollo has lauded the church for playing a critical role in supporting the education and health sectors in the country. The efforts, he stated, have gone a long way in augmenting government initiatives to strengthen the two sectors. He noted that the church has schools, hospitals, and health facilities spread across the country to take care of the welfare of Kenyans, and the role the church is playing in the development of the country is welcomed.
Besides education and health, the church is instrumental in fostering peaceful coexistence in the country through spiritual nourishment and various programmes run by different denominations. Through teachings, morals, and economic empowerment programmes run by the church, a lot of gains have been made in keeping the country secure.
Dr. Omollo, speaking at Migosi Adventist Church in Kisumu, emphasized that as the PS in charge of security, part of his work is to keep the country secure and maintain law and order, and the church has a role to play in that through its teachings. He highlighted the complementarity between the church’s efforts and government initiatives.
He mentioned that the government will continue to partner with the church to strengthen various programmes and build national unity. Dr. Omollo was the chief guest at the church’s 10th alumni anniversary, where different personalities who went through the church convened to give thanks.
Dr. Omollo also stated that they were at the event to give back to the church, highlighting that the church has a primary school which not only offers education but also supports spiritual nourishment for children. He encouraged those who are young to know that they can grow up and become successful like the adults present at the event.
