Authorities in Australia have confiscated travel documents belonging to a Kenyan Catholic priest after he was charged for allegedly stealing more than $1000 from a charity kitty.

Father Alexander Mutua Munyao is said to have stolen the cash from the Lismore Diocese in northern New South Wales.

Munyao is accused of embezzled $270 between November and June 2017, and a further $870 in July, adding up to $1140.

The Northern Star reports that the 35-year-old man of God was charged before Ballina Local Court on September 19th and appeared for the first mentioning of the case on Thursday before magistrate Robyn Denes.

Although Munyao remains free on bail, the court directed he surrender his passport and remain under a curfew at the St Francis Xavier presbytery in Ballina.

Police bail papers indicated the priest had ‘few community ties and no family ties in Australia’. His case will resume on November 30th.

May be he helped himself with a short term loan,with the intent of returning the cash before anybody notices,but things did not work his way.
It's like a lawyer dipping into a client's Trust Account hoping that the client will not need it by the time he returns it.Risky and against the law,but it happens.
My question is couldnt they just handle the matter internally like they did with the pedophiles in the Catholic church. This one pales compared to a priest molesting kids/boys.

What is happening to Kenyans in diaspora who are committing crimes? They are honoring the legacies of Jomo Kenyatta and Toroitich Arap Moi. These are the people who taught all Kenyans that, while in power, steal and kill as much as you can. When you are unfortunately arrested, get a prominent world lawyer, and you will be found innocent. This is what happened with Uhuru and Ruto in Hague!

My fellow Kenyans:

I don't hold any grudges against the Kikuyu or the kalenjin people of Kenya. I have direct genetic link with the Kikuyu and the kalenjin in my own immediate family. What I cannot stand is the two opportunists Uhuru and Ruto who took advantages of the successes of the second liberators of Kenya. Both of them are cowards! They did not at all participate in the struggles and strongly supported "criminal" Toroitich Arap Moi. They are not at all fit to reap where they did not sow! Shame on them.

If they are accidentally sworn in after intimidating the Supreme Court, I will not recognize them. If anyone asks me the name of the president of Kenya, I will tell them that Kenya does not have a legitimate president!

Long live the Republic of Kenya without con artists pretending to be in power!

........and you don't have to as your constitutional right. Many Americans didn't recognize Obama or currently Trump. If Raila is the option, forget it. He preaches what he doesn't practice. The biggest motivation for most non-luos is Raila himself. Many county coffers are his petty cash, he has continuously incited everyone against the Kyuks, dominion farms debacle, Kazi kwa vijana, kibra and luoland etc When Raila exists the stage, we might have a real option.

I don't think the intent of the father was to steal...that was too little money to steal.

This Kamba "man of God" is Kanyari's cousin who a while back was patronizing prostitutes
and conning them to play miracle games in Nairobi.
