Holy Family Basilica has distanced itself from a woman who posted a photo on social media claiming she is a nun.
Eva Karwitha, whose publicised on-off relationship with her German lover hit the headlines sometime last year, posted a picture of herself donning a black robe, white scarf and jewellery, just like a nun.
She stoked a fresh uproar when she posted this photo with the message: “Sister Eva of Holly (sic) Family Basilica.”
The June 20 post attracted comments from readers who wanted to know why she was clad like that. When The Nairobian contacted her, she was not able to state her faith.
The church has denied knowing her,, adding that she could be covering up something sinister.
“We don’t have sisters working for Holy Family Basilica. Only priests work here. Besides, sisters stay in convents and work at specific offices or secretariats. It is shocking and wrong to wear a nun’s uniform when you are not. We ought to be careful because her real intentions are not known. For sure, I know all nuns who work with us and she is not one of them,” James Kimuthu, the communications officer at Cardinal Otunga Plaza, told The Nairobian.
