Archbishop Ndambuki Condemns Politicians for Turning Funerals Into Political Platforms

Furious Africa Brotherhood Church (ABC) Archbishop Timothy Ndambuki has slammed politicians for what he termed as a growing culture of disrespect during funeral ceremonies across the country.

Speaking during a church function, Ndambuki criticized leaders who arrive late at funerals only to make political statements, despite clear directives issued before the start of the ceremonies that no politics should be conducted at the events.

The Archbishop described the trend as “bad behavior and a sign of insensitivity toward grieving families.” He said many politicians deliberately skip the early parts of funeral services—where guidelines are announced—only to show up near the end to address mourners and advance political agendas.

Ndambuki, who is well known for his support of President William Ruto and has often defended the Head of State from church pulpits, insisted that funerals must be respected as solemn occasions meant for mourning and comforting affected families, not political grandstanding.

He urged leaders to observe decorum and honor the wishes of families and clergy overseeing the ceremonies.
