Why Musalia Mudavadi Didn’t hold the Bible While Taking Oath
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi left many in shock after not holding the Bible while being sworn in office.
As it is customary in taking oaths, though optional to denomination, one is needed to lift the Bible or the Quran as a sign of pledging allegiance to the constitution and serving with diligence.
Mudavadi however did not follow suit, bringing questions to the fore on why he averted the traditional “lift of the Holy book”.
It has been revealed that Mudavadi is of the Quaker denomination, which believes that each individual can experience God without needing a priest or the Bible.
Quakers are people who belong to a historically Protestant Christian set of denominations known formally as the Religious Society of Friends.
Mudavadi tanked President William Ruto for appointing him to the position of Prime Cabinet Secretary.
“I take this opportunity to thank HE President William Samoei Ruto, for considering and appointing me as the Prime Cabinet Secretary in his government. It is an honor I accept with great humility and a sense of gratitude. I promise the President and the people of Kenya that I will serve them with utmost dedication to the best of my ability and within the confines of the Constitution of Kenya. I am fully awake to the many challenges that lie ahead of us even as we embark on the Herculean task of transforming the country’s battered economy and restoring dignity to the lives of our people,” said Mudavadi.
