Good question: why is the Government assaulting priests praying for the nation?
#OpenFaith #AccessToFaith
The government did not stop private prayers but public religious gatherings. Plus, no government in the world has the power to stop people praying privately in homes or churches so long as social distancing measures are applied.

This is now URGENT. Re-opening of the country should also include important social services as well as religious gatherings. Schools too in due course.

The sooner we start re-opening houses of prayer, with social distancing measures, the better. Next week is better than next month.

Time to move to the post-Covid19 normal. Churches, mosques, temples are ready to reopen with social distancing measures.

This is progress. BUT if there is a large venue, like with the 200 Jubilee MPs at KICC & State House, shouldn't the max number of congregations be likewise ADJUSTED UPWARDS to 200?

#OpenJustice is important.
But also, Covid-19 public health measures should allow reasonable #AccessToFaith measures for believers and opportunities for religious workers: pastors, priests, imams, etc.

De minimis non curat lex: Of small matters the law does not obsess.
If social distancing was observed, and the church gatherings were private, National Police Service-Kenya and Office of The Director Of Public Prosecutions should rethink.

Judge Walker, US District Court Kentucky, gives powerful ruling: it is discrimination to apply more restrictive anti-Covid19 standard to church gatherings than others.

Houses of worship including churches & mosques as providers of essential services. Makes sense. Social distancing guidelines can be effected.

Cases of harrassment of clergy as they conduct religious services in accordance with #Covid19Ke protocols unfortunate. And violation of church sanctuaries by Kenya Police Service officers is deplorable & must stop.

As #Covid19 threat diminishes, as the infection curve flattens, discussion is needed on gradually restarting religious events & facilities.

Differential adverse #Covid19 regulations on religious gatherings violate the US Constitution's free exercise of religion clause. Similar argument would apply to Kenya under arts. 27 & 32 of KE Constitution.

Getting the right balance for religion during #Covid19 : neither hyper-materialism nor hyper-spiritualism.
