Nyahururu Anglican Church Bishop Rev Samson Gachathi has called on leaders in the country to embrace unity of purpose and concentrate on service delivery.
The church leader said that leaders were elected to serve the people’s interests but added that it was unfortunate to see divisions and bickering as politicians take sides for their selfish gains.
He called on the church and Kenyans to pray for the country for peace and unity to prevail amid political divisions, especially in the Mt. Kenya region.
His sentiments were echoed by a section of leaders, among them former Water and Sanitation Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki, Laikipia Member of Parliament Jayne Kagiri, and her Kiambu counterpart Anne Wamuratha, who observed that it was time to deliver pre-election pledges they made before the 2022 General Elections.
They spoke at Nyahururu ACK Pro-Cathedral Church in Nyahururu town on the sidelines of a women’s forum.
The forum brought together over 4,000 members of the church’s Mother Union, where they underscored the need to bring individuals, families, and the community together and create a bond that would help families overcome critical challenges facing them.
Their sentiments come in the wake of political division in the Mt. Kenya region over who should take the “kingmanship’s” mantle and spokesperson who will also help champion the interests of the local people in the government.
