Followers of Prophet David Owuor's Repentance and Holiness Ministry have explained why they wash roads for their leader.
The church said the gesture is a demonstration of happiness as members are expecting a special guest.
Officials of Repentance and Holiness Ministry had appeared before the Senate Adhoc Committee investigating the deaths of more than 400 followers of Pastor Paul Mckenzie in Shakahola, Kilifi.
"We all have the freedom to express or demonstrate gladness. Washing the roads is one way to do it," said lawyer Gerald Odiwour, who represented Prophet Owuor at the meeting.
Nominated senator Veronica Maina had questioned why followers of Prophet Owuor wash the roads whenever he visits them.
"I do not understand why you wash the roads and clean up other public places when your leader is visiting yet this is work that should be done by the county," she said.
Odiwour further explained that even in the bible, cleaned roads for leaders demonstrated honour.
"Even when are receiving heads of state, we paint roads and buildings. I do not think it should be an issue for people who are expecting a guest," he said.
