Monday, November 18, 2024 - The Anglican Church of Kenya has clarified that it supports the stand taken by the Catholic Church on various issues facing the country.
Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. Jackson
Ole Sapit said calling church leaders names or dismissing the statement by
Catholic bishops as "misleading, erroneous and false," is itself
dishonest.
"We, the ACK, fully support
the catholic bishops' statement to the nation. We believe that the government
is yet to turn around the country and steer it in the right direction,” he
said.
Sapit added that they take great
exception to reports in some sections of the media, which seems to indicate
that ACK does not agree with the Catholic bishops for calling out the
government.
He said the bishops have spoken
the minds of Kenyans and faithfully expressed the truth as things are on the
ground.
“No amount of attacks or
intimidation will deter the church from calling out evil and speaking the truth
to power,” he maintained.
In a statement to the newsroom
on Monday, Sapit said the political class and those in government need to come
down “from their high horses, listen for once, rather than seemingly perpetuate
the commonplace culture of impunity.”
“The governed do not need
lectures but services and honest engagement. Please concentrate on providing leadership
in a meaningful way and first tackle the myriad of problems that are
bedevilling the country,” he stated.
He pointed out that the new
university funding model has not worked.
