If your hand makes you to steal, then chop it off, or so demands the good book. This could have inspired a dress code at a city church. At Jesus Winner Ministry Church in Roysambu, Nairobi, short dresses that expose thighs and tight trousers that show a woman’s body contours are not allowed. Perhaps to keep off temptations.

It is at this church that former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth declared that he would contest the governor’s seat in Nairobi. On that day, politicians and journalists who didn’t know the house of God had a dress code had to come up with quick fixes to blend in. [Photos: Elvis Ogina/Standard]
