Africa-Press – Kenya. Lawyer Miguna Miguna has weighed in on the practice of freemasonry in Kenya following revelations by Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier that he is a practicing member.
In an interview with NTV, Rachier confessed that he is a member and dispelled claims that freemason is a satanic enterprise saying its membership constitutes members of various faiths.
“We have Muslims in freemasonry, Christians, Buddhists and a few atheists, so there is no reference whatsoever to issues of devil worship, whoever the devil is,” Rachier said.
But the outspoken lawyer claimed freemasonry entails devil worshiping and dared the Gor Mahia boss and other members of the ‘secret’ organisation to publicly share their membership.
“He cannot compare public oaths physicians, advocates and those elected to public office take in the open with shady freemason oaths,” Miguna said in a post on Facebook.
“Freemasons do their evil deeds in darkness. We challenge them to operate openly,” he added.
During his interview, Rachier rubbished claims that there are sacrifices made for one to be part of the group and insisted that the group is there for brotherhood, a claim Miguna further dismissed.
“To convince anyone that freemasonry is a honourable thing, let them publish the names of all their members, open up their Temples and and recruit both men and women publicly,” Miguna said.
Despite admitting that freemasonry is not based on any particular religion, Rachier insisted that they follow biblical teachings from King Solomon and they read the Bible unlike the beliefs that they are devil worshipers.
He insisted that freemasonry is meant to propagate charity, a claim Miguna challenged him to substantiate.
“If freemason are champions of charity, how many schools, hospitals, orphanages and shelters for the homeless have they built? How many scholarships has Rachier funded? he posed.
