Thousands of faithful thronged the Karanda Repentance and Holiness Church to witness the thanksgiving ceremony of Dr Ochieng into the priesthood.
“I want to thank God very much for this day, as it marks the celebration of my consecration into the priesthood. Priesthood is a key pillar in the life of the church, the nation, and its people,” she said, reflecting on biblical examples of God’s choice of Israel, Levi, and Aaron as evidence of its divine significance.
Dr Ochieng reiterated the central message of her sermon, which highlighted the sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary and its profound implications.
On the issue of rising abduction cases, Dr Ochieng declined to comment, stating she had not sufficiently reviewed the matter. Instead, she emphasized the church’s focus on advancing its agenda of repentance and readiness for the Messiah’s return.
