Natembeya dismisses National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula title ‘Papa Wa Roma’
Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya has strongly disapproved of the title adopted by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Wetang’ula has been calling himself “Papa wa Roma,” a designation fervently used by his supporters and a section of Kenyans.
However, Governor Natembeya insists that there is only one “papa,” Pope Francis, who resides in Vatican Rome and leads the Roman Catholic Church.
The governor urged the speaker to refrain from using titles to attract adoration and pointed out that a pope does not marry.

Given the two marriages that Wetang’ula had, Natembeya disregarded the speaker’s title.
“In our culture, we had ceased worshipping human beings. Do you want us to tremble and bow down when you pass? Papa wa Roma kitu gani? We only have one pope. Kenya has only one pope. You call yourself Pope, and you’re married to two wives, that is a mistake.
(Unajiita pope na uko na bibi wawili, hiyo ni makosa bwana). I am a Catholic and only know one pope. Do not give yourself titles to threaten us. We will not fear you,” said Natembeya.
