President William Ruto has responded to the Catholic bishops following their controversial statement on Thursday, which has since caught the attention of Kenyans, including the political class. Addressing the congregation, President Ruto acknowledged his close ties with the Catholic fraternity, adding that some of his children went to catholic schools. Ruto went ahead to advise the clergy to stop the criticism and work closely with the government towards the progress of the nation and to build a country all Kenyans would be proud of. PCS"I want to ask leaders and clergy to work together towards a nation we can all be proud of and even as we engage in public discourse, which is important to Kenyans," President Ruto commented. President Ruto's sentiments come barely hours after the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) criticised President Ruto's administration over allegations of preventing corruption, unkept promises, abductions, and extrajudicial killings.
