Just two years ago, when it was ascending to power, Kenya Kwanza benefited from support of religious groups, including the Catholic Church. This has, however, changed with the faith-based organisations, led by Catholic bishops, launching sustained and coordinated attacks against the government. The Catholic, Anglican Church of Kenya, Akorino, Presbyterian, National Council of Churches of Kenya and Evangelical Formations of Kenya recently took the lead in pointing out ills in Ruto’s administration.
