Kenyans questioned Maraga, a staunch seventh day Adventist member, why he ignored the Sabath to attend the burial. Last year, while appearing before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) for the CJ job, Maraga vowed never to work on Saturday, which he termed the Lord’s sabbath. Maraga’s Saturday move to attend the burial of retired President Daniel Moi’s son raised eyebrows with a section of netizens questioning his hard stance last year. However, in a tweet on Sunday night, Maraga affirmed that his visit to condole with Moi’s family was inline with the sabbath believes. “Condoling with the bereaved, even on a Sabbath, is in accordance with the teachings of the SDA Church and is in perfect harmony with the observance of the Sabbath, ” Maraga said in a post.I joined family members and friends for the funeral service of Jonathan Moi, son to former President Daniel Moi in Kabarak. pic.twitter.com/BalC7aDY70

Condoling with the bereaved, even on a Sabbath, is in accordance with the teachings of the SDA Church and is in perfect harmony with the observance of the Sabbath.

Take care of mingling too much with the political class which would jeopardize your objectivity in handling of 'connected' files brought before you

Burial can’t be church service because for an Adventist, we DONT send off the departed during the sabbath day.

Other leaders who attended the burial include Deputy President William Ruto, Amani National Congress Leader Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka, Senate Minority leader James Orengo among other government officials. The leaders were welcomed by Jonathan’s brother Gideon Moi, who shared a rare handshake with DP Ruto.The observance of the sabbath is the sign between God and his people. Let us not be ashamed to bear the sign that distinguishes you from the world
