The Association of Atheists in Kenya has urged Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua to apologize to Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua after claiming that she is an atheist.
The organization stated that they will report the matter to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) should Mutua not apologize to the Azimio running mate within 24 hours.
Harrison Mumia, who is the organization's chairman, stated that Mutua should apologize since Karua is well and fit to be the deputy president of Kenya whether she 8s a believer or not.
“Progressive political leadership is percent possible without religious belief. It doesn’t matter whether Martha Karua is an atheist or not, she can still make a great leader. Alfred Mutua’s remarks show that he lacks an understanding of the concept of religious freedom and Constitutionalism at large. Such remarks are responsible for the stigma and discrimination that non-believers in Kenya’s face,” Mumia stated.
