The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops is now pleading for a peaceful and meaningful engagement in the face of violence that greeted the passage of contentious Finance Bill 2024. The bishops say such an engagement between the leaders and the citizens is necessary given the situation in the country and most importantly for the good of the nation. The clergy argue that the situation might spiral out of hand if Kenyans don’t engage in matters currently deemed pertinent. This was not the initial aim of the Gen Z protests. The government must listen to the pain of its citizens caused by the high cost of living.
