President William Ruto on Sunday hosted the Akorino for a
thanksgiving service at State House in Nairobi.
Accompanying the President was his deputy Kithure Kindiki,
and a host of lawmakers among them Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu) and John Kiarie
(Dagoretti South).
The Akorino (or Akurinu) are an indigenous, conservative
Christian religious group in Kenya, recognized for their white robes and
turbans, which symbolise purity and peace.
Emerging in the 1920s as a reaction against colonial and
missionary influence, they hold strict doctrines focusing on the Holy Spirit,
traditional African values, and pacifism
They believe in the Holy Spirit and baptism by water, oil,
or laying of hands. They do not use statues or images of Jesus or Mary in their
worship.
