Governor Kivutha Kibwana today urged the Church to speak the truth to the country's leadership.
He told the church to play a defining role and ensure that the country remains united after the 2022 presidential elections.
" You have the responsibility to speak the truth to all leaders as a sacred duty" Governor Kibwana said.
Speaking on Sunday at AIC Ziwani in Nairobi during the installation service of Reverend Joshua Nzau Kimuyu as Nairobi Area AIC Bishop, Kibwana who has already announced his ambitions for the presidency said the church has a responsibility to unite the politicians and Kenyans ahead of the forthcoming elections.
“The church has a key responsibility to play in leadership; that of uniting the country by bringing politicians and the rest of Kenyans together. The church must speak power to all Kenyans because we want peace in our country going forward,” Kibwana said.
The governor also asked politicians to exercise restraint and preach peace while in their campaigns saying that was the only way to ensure peaceful elections. Kibwana noted that the country cannot afford to go back to chaos and political hatred as has been witnessed in the past elections.
Kibwana at the same time appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to ensure a peaceful transition as he exits the political stage. “The president has a responsibility to leave the country united,” Kibwana noted.
He added that his presidential bid was still on, saying that he will campaign on the platform of peace and unity as well as eradicating corruption which he termed as the cancer bleeding the country dry.
