The Spouse of the Deputy President Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has said the controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie is a criminal and not a pastor. Speaking in Nairobi during a feeding program for the widows, Pastor Dorcas assured participants that the country is governed by the law. She emphasized that criminals and terrorists ought to be dealt with in accordance with the Constitution.
“If Paul Mackenzie is a criminal, he should be treated as an individual. Even his family should not be part of his crime. Paul Mackenzie is not the church, in fact, he has said he is not a pastor but he is Mr. Paul,” She stated.
Pastor Dorcas further cautioned against the generalization of the church or religious organizations when a rogue leader violates the law clarifying that individuals should bear their responsibilities regardless of their position in society.
She says the law should be applied and if found guilty he (Mackenzie) should be put behind bars.
“We have a law where when somebody is a criminal the procedure should be followed, but we cannot stand there and say because one Christian has been caught in a compromising situation the whole body of Christ should be condemned. A criminal is a criminal, a terrorist is a terrorist, a murderer is a murderer. Let them be taken through the law and be prosecuted if they are guilty, let them be put behind bars. ” She stated.
She was speaking at the House of Grace Church Nairobi where she fed more than 300 widows from Kibra, Langata Constituency Nairobi County.
