Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has urged political leaders to stop disparaging the church however wrong they are.
The MP in a statement said religious leaders answer to God and therefore politicians have no moral authority to chide them.
"Assume the Church is wrong, what qualifies earthly mortals like political leaders to stand judgement? Let the Church be. If they are wrong they report to God Almighty and he doesn't need our help to punish them," he said in a Tweet.
The message was ostensibly in response to President Uhuru Kenyatta's attack at the church during his Sagana III meeting.
The Head of State castigated some religious leaders accusing them of being accomplices of corruption activities in the country.
Uhuru said some church leaders have a penchant for seeking corrupt money from politicians and in return, push lies being propagated by their financiers.
“Even church leaders should stop telling lies to our people. Let's tell the truth, you are being given 3 billion meant for Kimwarer and Arror dams meant for the children of God, then you come to mislead us,” Uhuru said.
He added: “Do not come here just because you have been showered with stolen money in order to lie to us. No. You can’t. You can’t come and shower us with stolen money and tell us where we shall go while holding the Bible. You are the one heading to hell, not these people.”
On Friday, the Church and Clergy Association of Kenya hit back at Uhuru demanding respect.
They asked the president to desist from malicious interference.
CCAK also demanded answers from the President about who the thieves he was talking about are and why the loot has not been recovered.
"We demand to know the thieves the president talked about. Who are they? Why is the loot not being recovered from the churches where it has been donated to?" National Executive Board CCAK posed.
