Mr Musyoka also asked the church to be at the forefront in preaching peace and unity among the faithful for the good of the entire country.
Speaking at the Methodist Church of Kenya, Ruaraka, the VP said “Kenya greatly appreciates the contribution of the Methodist Church to social economic welfare of the society. I note with appreciation the church operates numerous schools and universities all over the country”.
