In the live-stream video by Azimio TV on YouTube, Member of Parliament for Homa Bay Town constituency, Peter Kaluma, is spotted speaking on the podium before he was interjected by the Father.

The priest warned the man for the act, noting that he was not in the market and should have known better.

"Just a moment Mr. MC, can that gentleman with a hat go out. Si ulikuwa unajua kwa nini umeingia nayo? This is a church, not a market! I'm sorry Mr MC, continue," he said.

Kaluma, who was on camera the entire time, appeared stunned and unable to utter a word as fear struck him.

The Father also warned members inside the church, presumably politicians, not to give money to those who were pleading for cash outside.

Here are some of the reactions from netizens:

Janet Atieno said:

"The priest is the new pope wa Vatican. ..chesa."
