Monday, November 18, 2024 – The Anglican Church in Kilifi County is under fire after some clergy members appeared to back President William Ruto's administration despite allegations of corruption, extrajudicial killings, and other malpractices linked to the government.
Speaking during the death
anniversary of the Kilifi North MP’s father, Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK)
Bishop Reuben Katite, called out their Catholic counterparts for
publicly criticizing Ruto’s government over Social Health Authority (SHA)
rollout challenges, extra-judicial killings, corruption, and rampant abductions.
According to Katite, it was
disrespectful of the bishops to bring up the matter publicly instead of sitting
down with the President and talking it out.
“Even religious leaders who know
the Bible well stood and said they don’t think this government is chosen by God
and they know very well that leadership comes from God,” he stated.
“Instead of praying for the
things that are going wrong to be corrected they choose to say that this
government is not even chosen by God. How can that be?”
Similar sentiments were echoed
by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi and South Mugirango Member of Parliament (MP)
Sylvanus Osoro.
“Bishops, the respect that the
world gives you, if you see a naked man, don’t call the neighbours like what
was done recently,” Kingi stated.
