The Archbishop of Nyeri Most Rev. Anthony Muheria has called on leaders to refrain from offering help to others with the intent of personal gain and popularity especially during this period of pandemic when solidarity is key for the good of all Kenyans.
“This assistance that we make should not be for our personal benefit but rather for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters in need,” Archbishop Muheria said in a video clip published on social media platform Tuesday, May 19,
“This moment of COVID-19 is a moment which cause great anxiety amongst our people, hence we are inviting you all to help us gel, unite and feel like one family especially in solidarity.”
Addressing political leaders to be example to others through their good relationship, Archbishop Muheria who is also the Chairman of the Commission for Pastoral and Lay Apostolate at the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) said, “It is our appeal that relations amongst you our elected leaders be a relation of respect, which gels and gives us hope.”
He reminded political leaders that “Politics is meant to be for happiness and peace, not for hatred” and continued, “may we see our Kenya led better by you and may God be seen in your action.”
He further notified the leaders of God’s expectation from them saying, “God counts on you and expects you to correspond accordingly, and He will hold you accountable. We pray for you with our entire heart and we ask God to give you the wisdom that may guide you in everything. We plead with you, be people of love and of unity.”
