KITUI CLERGY ASK RAILA AND UHURU TO DESIST FROM PUSHING KENYA INTO WAR

BY ADMIN

Former nominated MP Bishop Robert Mutemi who is also the leader of the Global Vision Church (GVC), has called for the opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta to loosen their hard lining position which is likely to drive Kenya into war and instead embrace dialogue, as this is the best way to deal with the problems affecting Kenyans.

On an interview at Mwingi yesterday, Mutemi said that the church is like the barometer of the society and as it currently stands, the nation is heading in the wrong directions leaders fight to satisfy their egos instead of addressing issues affecting Kenyans directly.

The former legislator said that kind of dialogue that the church has been advocating for is not the one to discuss on how either Raila or Uhuru will be the president of the republic of Kenya, but it’s on how issue affecting the general public can be solved and how unity can be achieved across the political divide.

On the issue of swearing in Raila Odinga as the president, the Clergy called for strict adherence to the provisions of the constitution, failure to which Kenya will fall into anarchy and jungle law will become the other option. This is even after plans to swear in Raila on 12^th December were postponed to a later date due to unknown circumstances. 

Bishop Mutemi called for all leaders from across the political divide to be caution in the actions they do, keeping in mind that we have a country to protect, even as they seek solving issues affecting Kenyans.

Mutemi also called for President Uhuru Kenyatta to listen to the complaints being made by a section of Kenyans and device ways of dealing with them, instead of draining all his energy in trying to fight Raila’s resistance.

He as well called for the opposition leader Raila Odinga to stop his fight of resisting Uhuru as the president of Kenya and instead seek dialogue on development issues affecting Kenyans and ways of moving the country forward.

End.
