Conference of Catholic bishops criticizes government’s policies

The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has issued a stern critique of President William Ruto’s administration, accusing it of fostering a “culture of lies” and failing to address pressing concerns of the Kenyan people.

Speaking at a conference in Ruaraka, Nairobi County, on Thursday, Archbishop Maurice Muhatia expressed the bishops’ dissatisfaction with the government’s actions two years into its term. “The culture of lies is replacing the integrity and respect Kenyans deserve,” he said, emphasizing the erosion of trust between citizens and their leaders.

The bishops accused the administration of using state machinery to suppress critics and reverse democratic gains. They called on Kenyans to reject political deceit and demand greater accountability and transparency.

Highlighting economic grievances, the clergy criticized the Tax Amendment Bill 2024, which they argued mirrors the controversial Finance Bill 2024 that was rejected earlier. “It seems to be a hidden way of reintroducing the rejected Finance Bill 2024. We should listen to the cry of Kenyans,” the bishops stated.

The KCCB also condemned proposals to extend the presidential term from five to seven years, describing it as unnecessary and ill-timed. “A two-term limit of 10 years is sufficient,” the bishops asserted, urging caution in altering constitutional provisions.

Beyond political matters, the bishops highlighted critical issues facing the nation. They noted a rise in femicide, citing police reports that 97 women and girls were killed across the country in the past three months as of October 30. The KCCB urged the government to prioritize the safety and well-being of women.

Other pressing concerns raised included crises in education and healthcare, as well as high unemployment rates, particularly among youth. The bishops called on the administration to refocus its attention on these urgent matters affecting ordinary Kenyans.

“We must not lose sight of the real issues,” Archbishop Muhatia said, urging political leaders to respond to the needs of the people with honesty and integrity.
