Saturday, November 16, 2024 - Uasin Gishu County Woman Representative, Gladys Shollei, has surprised Kenyans by suggesting that Catholic bishops should have privately criticized President William Ruto's administration instead of doing so publicly.
In a hard-hitting statement, the
Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) condemned the government for
inefficiencies and corruption within various government agencies.
Their remarks, described as
unusually blunt, sparked sharp responses from political leaders allied to
President William Ruto.
Addressing a press conference,
Shollei questioned the bishops' decision to air their grievances publicly,
arguing that they had direct access to the president.
"When I look at
the bishops, if there are people who have an audience with the president, it is
the Bishops and the church leaders. Usually, they have the ability to meet the
president in the state house.
In fact, they will get
an appointment ahead of me and they will be able to meet the president. So if
you're able to meet the president one on one, why don't you counsel the
president in private?" Shollei
posed.
