Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops(KCCB) has pointed an accusing finger to politicians over clashes in Narok and demanded an end to the skirmishes – By Enock Mukoma
The clashes, that have so far claimed 8 lives could have been avoided and the bishops are demanding that politicians take responsibility for the needless loss of life.
The Bishops said it is the responsibility of leaders- at County and national level to ensure harmonious existence.
“We condemn this needless loss of innocent lives. It must never have been allowed to happen in the first place”, the Pastoral Letter by the Bishops said.
At the same time, the bishops have urged parents to take over the role if family spiritual leaders during the Covid 19 crisis.
Bishop Wambua said the Catholic church will support Government efforts to flatten the Covid-19 curve and urged Kenyans to uphold directives issued by the Catholic Church.
“The family unit must stand up and minimize the effects of Covid 19. The family is the first point of call in management of state, spiritual and social affairs”, he said.
KCCB noted the pandemic has precipitated violence in the family and said the family unit must live the love of God.
The Bishops called for an end to divisive politics, adding that peace must be allowed to prevail.
