Kenya conference of Catholic Bishops chairman and Archbishop of Kisumu Rev. LEAH MUKANGAIIn one of the most scathing criticisms directed at the government in recent times, the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops has condemned the Kenya Kwanza administration as increasingly out of touch with the realities facing ordinary Kenyans.

The bishops’ statement reflects a growing discontent among religious leaders who feel that they have been abandoned by the very government they helped elevate.
