However the cleric has dismissed the saga by media reports.
Speaking in Kitui after holding an evangelical crusade on Sunday, Bishop Mary Kagendo of the Kisima cha Neema cha Mwana wa Daudi church denied media reports that the snake slithered to where Mr Kenyatta was seated but was shot dead by Presidential guards after it attempted to attack the Jubilee coalition leader.
The Bishop said it was only a small green mamba which was killed by a young boy using a simple stick.
Kagendo said she learnt of the snake story through the media and accused members of the fourth estate for creating a political storm out of a small incident, adding that citing of wild animals at the garden where her church is situated is common.
“We have monkeys, baboons, birds and occasionally see small snakes at our place of worship, but we cannot resort to killing them because we embrace nature,” the Bishop said.
She added that her church attracts huge crowds forcing her worshippers to worship outside where they interact with wild animals.
The cleric also downplayed claims by propagandists of some political parties that the snake could have been sent by Uhuru’s political opponents or black magic was involved.
