Monday, July 2, 2024 - A section of religious leaders from Siaya County has asked the government to sit down with Generation Z and resolve their differences to avert weekly protests that are destroying the country’s economy.
Through their umbrella organization, the Siaya Church Leaders
Forum (SCLF), the religious leaders believe that the only way the protests will
end is through mediation by an independent party.
The church leaders led by Arch Bishop James Opiyo Anyango lauded
the government's efforts to engage to address their demands.
"We advise that an independent international mediator be
engaged to end this stalemate because of other promises that have gone without
being fulfilled," Opiyo said.
Opiyo noted that the youth lack trust in the government.
He said if conflicting parties do not hold discussions, then
there will be no solution to the protests.
"What can make things streamlined is if we have a
foreigner, an independent person that all groups will look at him or her and
give their trust," Opiyo said.
He noted that the bone of contention in the protests wastage by
the government.
"Kenya is a very blessed country with a lot of resources
for all of us. But what is happening in the government is that there is no
transparency," he said.
