Catholic Media Practitioners have urged to be the Alternative Voice of the Church in order to bring changes in the society in accordance with the Gospel values.
Addressing Communication Coordinators and Radio personalities from all Kenyan Dioceses at Ukweli Pastoral Centre Kisumu, the Chairman of Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) - Commission for Social Communications, Rt. Rev Martin Kivuva, called on Catholic journalists to shape the nation by being the alternative voice.
Bishop Kivuva urged the communicators to encourage Kenyans to be good since it is the business of the Catholic media to bring about the gospel values promulgated by Jesus Christ.
“We have to be different because the world is moving in different directions due to the emerging challenges,” said Bishop Kivuva.
He appealed to the communicators should be good men and women who can stand up to be counted in the midst of all the confusion which is being realized in the country.
He observed that Catholic Media need to highlight issues of good governance since some
political leaders are not able to put into good use the monies allocated for development in various counties but are instead fighting over power and resources.

He, however, urged the communicators to reach out to the poor and the underprivileged, adding that Catholic media has been able to accommodate all family members in their various programing.
Present at different times during the workshop were the Chairman of KCCB - Catholic Justice and Peace Commission and Archbishop of Kisumu, Most Rev. Zacchaeus Okoth, the Vice Chairman of KCCB - Commission for Social Communications, Rt. Rev. David Kamau, Secretary of Social communication AMECEA Secretariat Fr. Chrisantus Ndaga and more than 50 participants from all the Dioceses in Kenya.
