Lawyer Otiende Amollo has stated publicly that he has never considered joining the Freemasons.
The Rarieda Member of Parliament reacted to the NTV interview with Gor Mahia Chairman, Ambrose Rachier, who revealed that he belongs to the clandestine Freemason organisation in Nairobi.
Albeit partnering with Ambrose in the Rachier & Amollo law firm, Lawyer Amollo said that he is not a Freemason and will not be joining the ancient movement anytime soon.
“Interesting times! have seen an interview by my law firm partner Ambrose Rachier on Freemasonry! I am not and will never join Freemasonry! Let it be known that the law firm of Rachier & Amollo LLP is NOT associated with the movement!” Amollo tweeted.

During the interview aired on NTV Sunday, October 2, Rachier boldly disclosed that he has been a member of the brotherhood since 1994.
“I think it is all about ignorance. If you get to the masonic hall, the first thing you get is a citation of King Solomon to God. I think most are talking from a point of view of Christianity, yet masonry is not based on any particular religion. We have Muslims in freemasonry, Christians, Buddhists and a few atheists, so there is no reference whatsoever to issues of devil worship,” Rachier stated.
What is Freemasonry
According to Wissa, K. (1989), freemasonry involves a fraternity of members bound by ties of solidarity and founded on a belief in a Supreme Being, referred to as the ‘Grand Architect of the Universe, and of learning lessons from the past through its most profound source-symbolism.
Operative Freemasonry began as a guild system incorporating builders
engaged in the construction of buildings, cathedrals, and various monuments.
The masonic guilds travelled from Egypt and the Holy Land to Europe. Not belonging to any country, in particular, they were thus called ‘freemasons’.
These medieval guilds retained the rituals and oath of secrecy that the early
masonic societies performed in the nineteenth century.
Rachier’s interview has kicked up a storm with lawyer Miguna Miguna challenging Rachier to publish a full list of Kenya’s freemasons.
“For Ambrose Rachier and his fellow DEVIL WORSHIPPERS to convince anyone that FREEMASONRY is an honourable thing, let them PUBLISH the names of all their members, OPEN UP their TEMPLES of SIN and RECRUIT both men and women PUBLICLY. CROOKS won’t do that in a million years,” he tweeted
