A section of the clergy has asked the government to postpone the push to amend the Constitution through BBI until after next year’s general election, regardless of the ruling of the Court of Appeal. The National Council of Churches of Kenya says public attention is now focused on next year’s general election. “To ensure adequate time for such a process, we call upon the promoters of the Building Bridges Initiative to postpone the process until after the 2022 general election regardless of the outcome of the ongoing judicial process”. The NCCK opposed politicians seeking to have next year’s general election postponed in favour of BBI. The clerics asked member churches to demand respect for the altar by politicians during the campaigns for the general election.
