Friday, November 15, 2024 - President William Ruto has responded to the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) after they accused his administration of spreading a "culture of lies" and failing to live up to its promises on key issues affecting Kenyans.
In a subtle response on Friday,
when he attended Tangaza University's Graduation in Nairobi, Ruto called on all
leaders, clergy, and Kenyans to stick to the facts when engaging in public
discourse, warning that “people can become victims of the things they accuse
others of doing".
"Even as we engage in
public discourse on matters that are important to the people of Kenya, we must
be careful to be factual lest we become victims of the things we accuse others
of doing," Ruto said.
"I know you know what I
mean," he added, as the crowd in attendance laughed at his words,
seemingly in agreement.
On Thursday, KCCB called out
President Ruto’s administration for what they termed a deeply entrenched
culture of lies, corruption, unfulfilled promises, and misplaced priorities.
Led by their chair, Archbishop
Maurice Muhatia of Kisumu, the bishops accused the political class of turning a
deaf ear to key concerns raised by Kenyans, including over taxation,
unemployment, disturbing gaps in the implementation of the CBC education
system, and the transition from NHIF to the Social Health Authority (SHA).
