Kenyan Anglican Church bishops criticize President Ruto’s government

Anglican Church bishops in Kenya have added their voice to criticisms of President William Ruto’s government. Last week, Roman Catholic bishops in Kenya criticized the government for what they called unexplained killings, abductions, and disappearances in the country, especially the murder of women. Some supporters of the government urged the bishops to focus on ministering to the flock and not to dabble into politics. In a statement on Monday, the Anglican bishops said it was their duty to take a second look at the morality of Kenya’s democracy and jumpstart civil engagement to bring about accountability. The Right Reverand Professor David Kodia, the Anglican Bishop of Bondo, tells VOA’s James Butty, the church represents Kenyans, some of whom cannot afford a meal a day or who are paying taxes but do not see the value of their taxes
