  1. Church must speak on justice as Kenya approaches 2027 elections

    An opinion piece argues that as Kenya heads toward the 2027 elections, the Church should exercise a prophetic voice on issues of justice, human rights, and political conduct. The author recalls fallen clergy who spoke out on these matters and warns against the problems seen in 2022, when politicians mobilized in churches and some clergy aligned with political camps.

  1. Religion should not be weaponised in election campaigns

    An opinion piece argues that religious leaders and politicians must maintain clear boundaries during elections, noting that while both can contribute to public debate, blurred lines reduce faith to a campaign tool and erode religious institutions' independence. The author cites concerns that some candidates present themselves as defenders of religious values during campaigns but govern contrary to those values after taking office.
