The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has urged President William Ruto to initiate dialogues with various stakeholders to neutralise the accelerating political tension in the country.
In a statement on Tuesday, June 24, KCCB noted that the government should be more accommodating of views from the youths, other non-state actors, and faith leaders to identify the dents, which are causing uproar among the youths, and how they can collaborate to ensure that lasting solutions are engineered.
The bishops have asserted that taking a collective effort to solve various issues affecting the country will play a vital role in restoring decency and respect in the country's democracy. "The political opponents must learn mature dialogue, Government must listen and sit with other non-state actors and the faith leaders; the youth must be ready to sit and be listened to as they listen to other views; wrong must be called wrong and apologies and restitutions discussed; and the Government must use its set institutions to consult and study issues," KCCB stated.
