Saturday, November 16, 2024 - Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has cautioned President William Ruto's government against engaging in a war of words with the Catholic Church.
This is after Ruto unleashed his
‘attack dogs’ on Catholic Bishops after they accused the Kenya Kwanza
administration of failing Kenyans.
However, commenting on the
ongoing debate, Amisi said the church has traditionally been a powerful
institution that gives moral guidance to society.
"The Kenya Kwanza
government should know that once upon a time in the history of mankind, the
Church was the supreme authority from which the universal laws of governance
and moral framework of organizing a society were derived," Amisi said.
Amisi recalled the ancient Greek
polis state system, in which the Catholic Church was the most powerful
institution. Kings, Queens, and other leaders derived much of their power from
the Church.
According to the ODM lawmaker,
the Catholic Church has criticised the government of the day since
independence, and Ruto's administration might not succeed in silencing the
clerics.
"The church started this
game earlier than the state, and that's why you can never win war against the
church, however powerful you are! End of story," the Saboti MP added.
