What exactly happened?

The lady who appeared to be standing in the commercial minibus with the preacher seemingly behind her holding a bible asked other commuters whether they were at ease with the preacher's sermon taking place within the vehicle.

"I don't understand why Christians claim autonomy of free speech. You try and exercise your free speech anywhere else everyone bashes you, but pastors feel they can come into peaceful public commutes and preach the word," she said.

She contended that she has never observed individuals from other faiths engaging in public preaching.

"They shove their beliefs down our throats."

She additionally emphasised that if individuals desired to hear the word of God, they would attend church on a Sunday.

How did netizens react?

The video sparked mixed reactions from netizens. Some agreed with the lady, while others completely disagreed, saying there was nothing wrong with the pastor preaching.

Miss Ndege:

"The same should be done to mosques making noise from 5am with their prayers."

"I love this .. we should emancipate ourselves from mental slavery."
