Staying on Cardinal Otunga’s road to sainthood

By Lawrence Njoroge

It is now nine years since Maurice Cardinal Otunga, the much-loved Archbishop of Nairobi, passed on. At his funeral Mass in 2003 a speaker at Nyayo Stadium said the late prelate should be declared a saint immediately. A similar call would be heard later in Rome in 2005 at the funeral of Pope John Paul II when admirers of the late pontiff exclaimed that he too should be named a saint without delay.
