Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops is now appealing to Gen Z to drop their hardline decision and embrace dialogue with the government.
Speaking during a press conference, the bishops urged the youth to sit down with the president for the sake of the country.
“We request that you open up yourselves for inclusive conversations so that you are also enriched by perspectives that may not be obvious to you. In doing this you become attentive to the laws of God and bear true respect for others,” the said.
The bishops praised the youth for their strong voice and for helping bring changes in the government.
“You have elicited a national even global conversation on what it means to be a democracy, the kind of leadership that should spur creativity and opportunities for citizens, the values and principles that define our public institutions. We thank you and continue to support you in aspiring for good in our society,”
“We ask you to be cautious that you do not hurt others, which might turn against your great agenda for a better country. Be inclusive and supportive of constructive ideas and conversations.” They added.
Azimio la Umoja Coalition Principal Kalonzo Musyoka on Thursday, July 11, implored Kenyans to take it easy on former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who fell victim to a barrage of calls and messages after his phone number was leaked.
This was hours after his announcement that he would back President William Ruto in his call for dialogue with aggrieved Kenyans.
Kalonzo was addressing a Pan African Youth Convention where he narrated how Kenyans reportedly bombarded the Azimio leader’s phone with messages after his meeting with President William Ruto to express their disappointment in his decision.
