Two spiritual leaders in Narok county have decried deteriorating virtues in the society that they lament has led to increased cases of murder, corruption and tribalism in the country.
Bishop Augustine Rugut of Gospel Outreach and Bishop Paul Mbugua of Kenya Wariba Israel Churches regretted the increasing social media vulgar language, saying it fanned hatred and bitterness among Kenyans.
Bishop Rugut called on the government to put appropriate measures to end corruption in the country, alleging that citizens were slowly turning to money worship and could do anything in exchange for money.
The cleric encouraged all faithful to pray for their leaders as commanded in the Bible, adding that it is a sin to curse and speak ill of leaders.
He called on the investigating officers to ensure justice was served to the family of the late Albert Ojwang, who died in police hands.
Rugut told off the opposition for encouraging tribalism and dividing people based on their regional background.
“We should go back to the drawing board and mend where we went wrong. We cannot have a future as a country if people are always bitter, corrupt and tribal. This is not the country that we wished to have,” he reiterated.
On his part, Bishop Mbugua called for peace and cohesion in the country and rebuked those who were spreading tribal messages to divide the nation.
He challenged Christians to pray for peace like never before as he encouraged dialogue to resolve the prevailing challenges that were affecting the nation.
