Catholic Bishops Speak for Kenyan Rights. Ruto and his Government Wants Them in Hell Right Now

18 mins read

In a poignant Press Statement issued Thursday, the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) addressed a myriad of pressing issues negatively impacting the nation, urging renewed integrity and justice in the face of escalating political tensions.

The Bishops express deep concern over the deteriorating political landscape, marked by persistent wrangling, corruption, and an alarming culture of deceit

The Catholic church condemned President William Ruto’s administration over unexplained killings, abductions, widespread corruption, and a growing culture of deception.

In a pointed statement, the bishops, through the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), criticised the government for fostering an environment where citizens have become accustomed to the lies propagated by politicians.

“Kenyans must learn not to applaud or validate the lies that politicians tell them, but rather must resolve to seek and be led by the truth,” said Bishop Dominic Kimengich of Eldoret Catholic Diocese, reading the KCCB’s statement.

In their Thursday Statement, delivered during the ongoing plenary assembly, the Bishops highlighted the urgent need for leaders to prioritise the welfare of Kenyans over personal and political interests.

Unjust use of position and authority

They lamented the ongoing political self-interest that has overshadowed essential governance, pointing out that this has fostered an environment of mistrust and disillusionment among citizens.

“The elected leaders have been mandated to fulfil roles conferred to them by the Constitution. They are among the highest-paid legislators in the world. We are troubled by their heightened insensitivity and irresponsibility in carrying out their tasks, allowing themselves to be captured and compromised in corrupt deals,” the statement read.

Among the specific issues raised, the Bishops addressed widespread corruption that has infiltrated various sectors of government, emphasising that corruption may not always involve financial benefits but the unjust use of position and authority or abuse of office.

Alarming trend of un-kept promises

Referring to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) they underscored the importance of the Government paying dues to essential service providers because when the Government fails, it harms vulnerable communities. The prelates cited the neglect of Faith-Based Hospitals which are owed billions of Kenya shillings in dues.

Furthermore, the Bishops took a firm stance against the alarming trend of un-kept promises by elected leaders, warning that a culture of lies is swiftly replacing the integrity and respect that Kenyans deserve. Kenyans, the Bishops said, must always be led by the truth.

Worrying reports of abductions and disappearances

The Bishops also expressed serious concern over the blatant recurring incidents of reported abductions, disappearances, torture and the increasing murder of women. Many families are still grappling with the loss of their children who were brutally killed, injured, or went missing following what is referred to as “Gen Z demonstrations” in June 2024. Most of these victims had raised concerns about the rampant corruption within and outside the Government. The Bishops further wondered, “Who is abducting these people, and is the Government unable to stop these abductions and killings?”

Protect the life of every human person in Kenya

Referring to the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, Article 26, the Kenyan prelates appealed to the authorities to protect the life of every human person in Kenya, urging the Government “to take the lead in following the law, which the leadership took an oath to uphold and defend at all times.”

In a particular call to action, the KCCB denounced the selfish agenda aimed at extending the terms of elected leaders from five years to seven years, positing that such moves threaten the democratic principles that underpin the nation.

They asserted, “A two-term limit of ten years, as given by the current Constitution, is ample time for any visionary political leader to leave a strong legacy if they perform.”  The KCCB members emphasized that Kenya has matters of national concern such as the crumbling Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) education system, health care services, reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), a huge block of educated but unemployed youth and fighting the monster of corruption among others, that are top priorities.

Kenyans yearning for change and accountability

While Kenya navigates these turbulent waters, the Bishops’ message resonates with a deep yearning for change and accountability.

In a spirit of prayer and hope, KCCB invites the country’s leaders to be guided by the values of justice, mercy, humility and selflessness. They say honesty should underpin good leadership and governance according to God’s will.

The Statement of the Kenyan Bishops serves as a timely reminder of the moral imperative to pursue the common good and echoes the enduring call for peace.

I used to have big arguments with my mother who is the most dedicated Christian I have even seen and known. My mum took me to church all the time I was home and she told me she wants me to go to heaven when my life is over.

I told my mother that the big keeper in Hell, Obel Sibuth, the big Satan, would never allow me to be in hell because he would think I am so bad that I would take his job and run hell. So I told my mum that Obel Sibuth would call the other guy running heaven and ask him to come and take me out of there. I told her not to worry about me because I was covered. I hope she listened.

The only reason I went to church with my mum is that she made cakes there and I could eat as much as I wanted. I had no interest in going to heaven at all. I suspect the old lady knew that and she just figured this little guy just needs to eat and he will be fine. We were good friends all the time except when I ran away from the country as a refugee first to Tanzania and then to Canada.

I was not able to talk to her for five years. She was furious about that. But it worked out. She told me when we met again at home that okay you are in Canada now but you are not there for yourself. You are there for us she told me. I will never forget that.

Now I am beginning to think William Ruto is in the same position I was in with the big Satan, Obel Sibuth, where he will not be allowed to go to hell because he is more evil than that boss there and he could take it over.

Since the statement from the Catholic Bishops for President William to stop abusing and killing Kenyans every Ruto agent is screaming at the Bishops. The nation expects that and it doesn’t matter really.

Boss to Catholic bishops: Focus on spiritual work

Says the bishops were looking for cheap publicity like the politicians they accuse.

Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Boss has told off Catholic bishops asking them to keep off from affairs of running the country and focus on their spiritual work.

Boss said President Wiliam Ruto was elected to lead the country and the bishops should let him do his work.

She said she was ‘disappointed’ by the statement issued by Catholic bishops critisising the government on various issues of national interest.

“Their job is spiritual work and they should leave the business of running the country to elected leaders,” Boss said.

Of course, William Ruto is a very religious leader. The question is which religion is he involved in. The religion of corruption and theft can work for him but not for Kenyans.

William Ruto, who has been sworn in as Kenya’s new president, is the country’s first evangelical Christian president and is likely to put religion centre-stage while in office after it played a key role in his election victory.

Now they are fighting about who will go to heaven when Kenyans are already in hell in their own country under President William Ruto presidency for two years.

MP Baya to Catholic bishops: You will not see heaven

Kilifi North MP Owen Baya on Friday launched a scathing attack on Catholic bishops over their criticism of the government for fostering a “culture of lies.”

Baya, the deputy majority leader at the National Assembly, said there is nothing as bad as seeing bishops convening to come up with a misleading statement.

“I want to tell you that if the President fails, it is Kenya that will have failed. If you pray for the President to fail, it is Kenya that will go down,” he said.

Baya added that the bishops need Kenya to be stable for them to preach the gospel.

“What Catholic bishops are doing is unfair before God and man. To peddle lies and information that is incorrect and to actually ask God to curse this country.”

The MP said that bishops, priests or Imams have an obligation to pray for the President and the country.

“I want to ask them politely, if you have a problem with William Ruto as a president because you think your tribe is now not with him, then you mislead other bishops to come and condemn the President, I want to tell you, you will not see heaven.”

The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) on Thursday strongly criticized President Ruto’s government, accusing it of fostering a culture of lies and failing to deliver on promises to the Kenyan people.

They also condemned the government of allegedly using state machinery to suppress critics, neglecting public concerns, and reversing democratic progress in Kenya.

The bishops said they are appalled by the recurrent cases of abductions, disappearances, torture and killings of Kenyans.

They noted that many Kenyans have lost trust in the government they elected just over two years ago.

“We decry the increasing murder of women. This has caused great consternation, anger and disgust. Many families are still grappling with the loss of their children who were brutally killed, injured, or went missing following what is referred to as Gen Z demonstrations in June 2024,” the clerics said in a statement signed by Most Rev Maurice Muharia, the chair of Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops.

One more thing. President William Ruto said recently that after he is over with politics he will become an Evangelical Preacher. How nice is that for him because those are are the worst criminals in our country after after the politicians. They collect millions from poor Kenyans every week and are billionaires.

Ten Richest Pastors In Kenya. William Ruto should join them very soon and abolish the Catholic Church altogether

Kenya is home to thousands of churches and quite possible, uncountable – Some churches, however, do stand out due to the prominence and lifestyles of the head pastors – This list includes the Kiunas, Prophet Owuor and others.

The family home in Karen, the Jubilee Christian Church in Parklands and the flashy lifestyle…need I say more?

Photos Bishop Allan and Rev Kathy Kiuna’s home made rounds on social media as rumours abound that they were even planning on installing a hanging swimming pool.

In a past interview, Rev Kathy Kiuna was quoted as saying that many in their congregation live well which obviously translated in a prosperous church and their wealthy lifestyle.

Rev Teresia Wairimu

Well, you only have to look at her billion shillings sanctuary in Karen opened by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Reverend Reinhard Bonnke.

The grand opening of the Faith Evangelistic Ministries Family Church was graced by dignitaries and celebrities, as well as led by special guest singer Pastor Solly Mahlangu who is famed for the Wahamba Nathi hit song.

Did I forget to mention she mentored the Kiunas? Yes, I did. And she did. Money talks.

Margaret Wanjiru

The Jesus Is Alive Ministries and former Starehe Member of Parliament makes the list. With plans to construct twin towers along Haile Selassie Avenue in Nairobi, she can’t miss out on the list. It is said that the construction of the building is estimated to have a budget around the billion mark.

Having made inroads into government, it can only mean she has a lot more money than we can imagine.

Brother Kamlesh Pattni

This ninja who was at the center of the Goldenberg (over KSh 60 billion) and Laico Regency scandals turned to the Lord and founded a church as well. Despite being Hindu, he converted to Christianity and was baptized Brother Paul Pattni.

He owns a chain of airport duty-free shops and has investments in Mombasa, Nairobi and even in the Maasai Mara National Park.


His wealth knows no bounds as it was reported in 2014 that he allegedly transferred the International Casino on Nairobi’s Museum Hill in a deal worth KSh 1.2 billion.
