The woman expressed her perplexity regarding why preachers enter matatus and presume they possess the entitlement to disturb a peaceful journey.
"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 or within matatus.
"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.
