They argued that many politicians have politicized the pulpit, and use it to spread hate speech instead of preaching the word of God.<\/p>\n<p>Several leaders supported the move to bar politicians from the church dais, and the deputy president was one of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
