The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops is now appealing to Kenyan youth to drop their hardline stance and embrace dialogue for the sake of the country.
They commended the youth, Gen Z, for articulating many issues that Kenyans resonate with over the last couple of weeks noting that their actions have been instrumental in driving change and highlighting social ills in the country.
The Catholic Bishops argued that the Gen Z message is home and they now ought to give room for issues they raised to be dealt with, insisting this can only happen if Kenyans agree to engage each other without apportioning blame.
The statement was read by their chairperson Most Rev. Maurice Muhatia Makumba,
While appealing to the youth to give dialogue a chance, the Bishops said the President had heard their cry.
In the meantime, the Bishops asked the President to make good his promise to consult widely before making appointments to the vacant Cabinet Secretaries positions.
The Catholic bishops further expressed dismay over an increasing number of abductions and kidnappings in the country.
