Wednesday, December 4, 2024 - The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has accused President William Ruto of lying to Kenyans and making false promises.
In a statement on Tuesday, the
clerics said that President Ruto’s administration has elevated lies and
falsehoods to the point that no one knows what to believe anymore.
“The Bible warns against listening to lies, as we read in Ezekiel 13: 19. The situation in our country is the direct result of our tendency, as the people of Kenya, to listen to and believe the narratives peddled by persons seeking to rise to or to hold onto political leadership.
"These narratives are often premised on lies and
falsehoods,” the statement read.
Further, the NCCK called on
Kenyans not to view information from the government from a blanket perspective.
“We appeal to you, brothers and
sisters, to be seekers of truth. Do not just believe what is said, take a step
to verify if what you have been told is true,” part of the statement read.
Besides accusing President Ruto’s
administration of perpetuating a culture of lies, the NCCK clerics issued
various demands for the President to Address.
One of the demands issued by
NCCK is the reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC).
The church accused the political
class of delaying the reconstitution of IEBC, saying it is a major insult to
the people of Kenya and an attack on who we are as a nation.
NCCK therefore urged citizens to
raise their voices to demand that the Judiciary concludes the cases touching on
the IEBC reconstitution within the next two weeks.
