Catholic priest in charge of St Peter's Oyugis Church in Homa Bay County, Father Tom Nicholas Mboya has expressed concern over lewd dressing by some churchgoers, which he says is immoral. Fr Mboya said he cannot not keep quiet when his sheep go astray. This became evident last Sunday during a prayer service at his church. Fr Mboya, who presided over the service condemned told women and girls who go to church in indecent dressing to stop it.
"There are some ladies who come to church dressed in a manner that is not different from those who are walking in streets of Oyugis town. The truth of the matter is that they are indecent," he said.
He argued that indecent dressing distracts people during prayer in the church. Such ladies are dressed in a manner that grabs the attention of men who see them, he said."Failure to cover certain parts of the body interferes with people who have come to church as it distracts them," Fr Mboya said.
