CWN Editor's Note: A Kenyan bishop has argued against accepting gifts to the Church from politicians, especially at a time when budget cuts are leading to reduction of public services.

“We do not know where the huge sums of money donated to churches by politicians come from, and we should be worried,” reasons Bishop Cleopha Oseso of Nakuru. “Let the Church not be seen as a beneficiary while schools have no books, hospitals have no medicine, and doctors and teachers have no pay.”
