After more than 35 years at the pulpit, ACK Mumias Diocese Bishop Beneah Salala has joined politics. Last Sunday, Salala gave his last sermon after serving for 15 years as the first bishop of the diocese.

The outspoken cleric, who has had run-ins with the police for his sharp criticism of the government, is ready to take politics head-on.
