Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Bishop Emeritus of the Catholic Diocese of Kakamega Philip Sulumeti was on Saturday forced to break the protocol to invite Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua to address the congregation.<\/p>\n

Karua was among the leaders who graced the Episcopal Golden Jubilee Ceremony of the Bishop Emeritus at Bukhungu stadium but had not been given chance to speak.<\/p>\n

The brief session of speeches saw Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa address the church first.<\/p>\n

Upon concluding his speech, he invited Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to make his remarks.<\/p>\n

Once Mudavadi ended his speech, the programme was handed back to the church.<\/p>\n

When Bishop Sulumeti was invited to give his speech, he shared a message of gratitude to all who had graced his occassion.<\/p>\n

He, however, could not end his speech without inviting Karua to speak.<\/p>\n

The Bishop said he played a pivotal role in fighting for the rights of women and could therefore not allow his function to end without women speaking.<\/p>\n

“We must also remember in the constitution of Kenya I fought very much for the rights of women and none of them was not accepted,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said that he must recognise Karua because she was the secretary and he was the chairman during the making of the constitution.<\/p>\n

“All of us who have been talking here are right, but the left leg has not been here. Can I make a mistake that I will suffer for myself by inviting Martha Karua,” he said.<\/p>\n

Adding:<\/p>\n

“So Martha just come and say hello to the congregation.”<\/p>\n

Karua made a walk to the podium and addressed the congregation. In her speech, Karua thanked the Bishop for contributing immensely to the success of the community.<\/p>\n

She acknowledged the role the Bishop played in enacting the current constitution saying his contribution was significant.<\/p>\n

Karua challenged leaders to honour the Bishop by safeguarding the gains made out of the Kenyan constitution.<\/p>\n

Bishop Sulumeti is marking his 50th year of service since he was first ordained priest in 1972.<\/p>\n

Leaders celebrated him as a selfless leader who helped in developing the foundation of the 2010 Constitution.<\/p>\n

Other leaders present were Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula and Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale among other leaders.<\/p>\n
