Murang’a Catholic Diocese Bishop James Maria Wainaina has called on Christians and people of goodwill to join the church in addressing the concerns of Kenyans by advocating for change. “The Kenya we desire is the one where justice, peace and unity reign; where all citizens, especially the marginalised, can thrive; where leadership is marked by integrity; and each person desires the welfare of others,” he said.
The cleric called upon Christians to reflect deeply on their desires for their country and ask themselves whether those desires align with the values of the Kingdom of God. “This is about desiring transformation that starts in our hearts and radiates into the fabric of our society,” he said.
