Politicians should be allowed to campaign during church services, according to Presbyterian Church of East Africa moderator Julius Mwamba.

 He said politicians should be allowed to air their views in church and look for supporters.

On Sunday, Mr Mwamba allowed politicians, who included Woman Representative Florence Kajuju and former Interior Permanent Secretary Mutea Iringo, to speak in church about their development agenda ahead of the coming elections.

"Make sure you elect only those who preach peace and spread the gospel; those who fear God," said Mwamba, who was accompanied by Deputy Secretary General Rev Mugendi Kanga.
