Archbishop Anthony Muheria has asked President William Ruto to listen to the plight of Kenyans.
Speaking during Citizen TV’s JKL live show on Sunday, July 16, 2023, Muheria opined that Ruto’s administration should shelve its ‘ignorance’ and address concerns raised by citizens.
Speaking on Citizen TV on Sunday night, Muheria regretted that the way political differences have been handled lacks humanity.
“We have instrumentalised misery and poverty and many times weaponised tragedy; when we see something that has gone wrong, we go out with our swords to find a battleground for fighting our opponents in a vicious, inhumane way. We need to recover our humanity,” Muheria said.
The opposition has scaled up protests against President Ruto’s administration with another wave of demonstrations planned for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week.
“We must touch the ground, we must know how people on the ground feel. That’s why we ask the government to listen to the plight of Kenyans. The silence, the ignorance…we need a structured way of governance, we need people to be accountable and have a jurisdiction that has limits. Public participation must actually be public participation,” he stated.
Muheria also took issue with Ruto’s leadership describing it as arrogant, insulting and imposing.
The man of the cloth underscored that the President needs to be humane, empathetic, and compassionate when discharging his mandated roles. The opposition has scaled up protests against President Ruto’s administration with another wave of demonstrations planned for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week.
At least nine people died when demonstrators clashed with police last week while dozens were injured and maimed.
The archbishop asked the Kenya Kwanza government to engage with members of the clergy for discussion on how to set a ”good leadership tone devoid of threats and supremacy battles.”
