A section of Kenyans on social media have criticized Jubilee Christian Centre (JCC) Bishop Allan Kiuna and his wife Reverend Cathy Kiuna for hosting popular CNN journalist Richard Quest in their church.
The news anchor attended a church service at JCC in Nairobi on Sunday and was even given an opportunity to address the congregation from the alter.
“We welcome @richardquest to fellowship with us this morning @JccKenya. May God minister to you as fellowship with us today. #ArmorOfGod #JCCParklands,” JCC tweeted.
However, a section of Kenyans online have taken issue with Kiunas for inviting The Quest Means Business show host to their church and allowing him to step on the alter despite publicly declaring that he’s gay.
Some point out that he was allowed to the church because he is prominent and rich, and the situation would be different if he was a no body. Kiunas have in the past been accused of openly discriminating against those without ‘deep pockets.’
Here’s what Kenyan online users had to say;
@compositeman1 says: “The Gay bashing bigots approve Richard Quest’s coverage of Kenya.”what a great man he is,” so they say. Hypocrisy itawamaliza.”
@Wajirstweep tweets:” Richard Quest is a homosexual who’s campaigning for homosexuality in Kenya. Today Pastor Cathy Kiuna brought him into her Church. The Church however preaches against homosexuality and doesn’t want to be associated with it. So what’s he doing there?”
@KuisanMacharia says: “Wait! Does this mean @JccKenya is now willing to accept all Kenyans even those whose sexual orientation is “an abomination” to the church & even speak from pulpit? Cos I know people … for real.”
@kevmwachiro says: “Does this mean Kenya’s queer community will be welcome to share their stories and journeys without stones being cast at them? Progress? #askingforme.”
@CaroleKimutai:” To the Kenyan church, open your doors to the rest of us – homosexuals, socialites, prostitutes, wizards etc. The gospel of Jesus is about love. Then shout from the rooftops that socialite XX will be attending church & will greet the saints!”
Gordon Opiyo says: Bishop Allan Kyuna and Cathy Kyuna, preach the Gospel of Christ. Today, they allowed Richard Quest, someone that has openly confessed to be Homosexual, to be in the pulpit. The same Church will chase anyone that confesses to be a polygamist.
Mzungu sins are elevated and Mwafrika “sins” are condemned. Anyway, this is a new low in the publicity seeking Gospel Churches.”
Surprisingly, Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO and self-declared Kenyan moral police Ezekiel Mutua came to the defence of Kiunas and Quest. Mutua is a fierce critic of homosexuality.
“No one can deny the fact that the Kiunas have given hope to many youths. Theirs is the true story of audacity of hope. Such are the unique stories that need to be highlighted about Kenya. Quest may be gay, but he is a top notch journalist who can sense newsworthy stories with unique angles,” he says.
Quest left the country on Sunday aboard Kenya Airways’ inaugural direct flight to New York.

@Gordon Opiyo: Just for your Information: It’s FIDELITY and Grace to allow Polygamists in Church (to go Forth and Multiply) and FUTILITY and Disgrace to let Homosexuals. And it’s because Homosexials do NOT Multiply; they kill! They quietly EXTINGUISH the Human race; the Race of God. Kwani BABA yako Baba yako ndyo Walikuzaa; ama MAMA kako na Mama yako?

Ndugu yetu @CaroleKimutai anasema. “…The gospel of Jesus is about love.” Kimutai kwa nini unajifanya umesahau maneno Yeshua/Yesu aliyoyasema katika Luke 14: 26? Pia soma Matayo 10: 34- 39. Mtu huyu (Yesu) hakuwa na mapenzi yoyote na binadamu! Alikuwa mtu mwenye kiburi na mpenda vita! Tunasoma katika Matayo 21: 12 ya kwamba aliwapiga watu alipowakuta wakiuza vitu hekaluni. Je, huu ni ungwana Kuwapiga watu? Je huu ni “upendo gani?”

Very arrovant and boastful…
Very arrovant and boastful preachers and relying and sucking fools who attend their satanic church. You will wonder where Ms Kiuna got her American ascent yet I think, she has never sojourned in the US. During the final days, such preachers will havè alot of explaing to do. The airs these couples display on tv is not only annoying but satanically satanic. Richard Quest had a mission in Kenya and in accepting to launch KQ FLIGHT: to hivhlight the plight of gays and lesbian. The next thing you will hear….he has a Kenyan bkyfriend and that the constigution should be changed to accomodate to uplift the rights of gays.

@utubora this kiuna other day was saying that he needs a plane n his church is thinking of buying him one.My Q is why not use those millions helping the window,youth,reaching out to homeless in nairobi,feeding many guys around nairobi who struggle with daily food,starting rehabs instead of a plane????This private churches r big bizness to make money not to take folks to heaven but our shit brainwashed kenyans continues to give their tithe n offerings without asking how their cash is utililized.Waafrica wanjinga sana.Many if those churches are plenty in usa N are always fighting each other juu ya pesa.One i know very well was in massachusetts with doctor foolish karimi who didn’t want to leave the church juu ya pesa mingi yenye ilikuwa kwa account.He was taken to court n he pushed himself back to church instead of leaving the church if ur really called by God to serve.

You would think that some that comment would be rational enough to see that connection, but alas NO! They would rather ape their God of the old testament who is arguably the most unpleasant character of all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic (the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls), homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal (the killing of one’s son or daughter), pestilential (relating to or tending to cause infectious diseases), megalomaniacal (a person who is obsessed with their own power), sadomasochistic (characterized by or deriving sexual gratification from both sadism and masochism), capriciously (given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behavior) malevolent (having or showing a wish to do evil to others) bully.

Let the man go wherever he desires, even Jesus forgave dined with the prostitutes and washed their feet.
