KAG Seeks Financial Support to Rebuild Kiambaa Church Following 2008 Deadly Arson Attack

The Kenya Assemblies of God (KAG) Uasin Gishu branch is seeking financial support to rebuild the Kiambaa Church. 

KAG appealed to well-wishers and members of the public to help reconstruct the church that was torched at the height of the 2007/2008 post-election violence.

A notice published in a local newspaper on Friday said the local community led by Bishop Joseph Kamau Mariko of KAG Uasin Gishu have been planning to rebuild the sanctuary despite serious opposition from politicians blamed for the barbaric act that left a “permanent scar not only on survivors but the Kenya nation as a whole.”

“With God’s grace, the rebuilding of the church began last month and construction is currently underway,” a notice in the Daily Nation says.

“The committee in charge of the project is asking well-wishers to support the construction by making contributions to KAG Kiambaa project.”

The church was set on fire by raiders on January 1st, 2008, killing 35 people including women and children who were hiding inside during the 2007/2008 post-election violence.

“It has remained a monument of shame and a bitter reminder of the extremes of politically instigated ethnic hatred,” the Church adds.

Well-wishers can send their contributions via Paybill 222111 or to Family bank account 085000100123.
