NAIROBI, Kenya Nov 17 \u2013 Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has asserted that the Kenya Kwanza Alliance regime has no issue with inputs by non-state actors including the church and non-governmental organizations on government delivery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking during a church service in Kirinyanga County, the Deputy President acknowledged the teething problems facing the government flagship projects including the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) which will be ironed out through concerted efforts.<\/p>\n

His comments came in response to a scathing statement by the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), who had raised concerns over his administration\u2019s handling of several issues, including taxation, corruption, and unfulfilled promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has no fight with the church because we know government world are led by humans. Humans sometimes their hard work is never complete and therefore we are open to receive opinions on how we can improve the government performance for the sake of Kenyans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis administration recognizes the input of other voices in particular we have no problem with the input by the church, civil society and all members of the society,\u201d<\/p>\n

Kindiki assured that despite myriad of challenges facing the government especially on the rollout of the manifesto of the Kenya Kwanza Regime; ultimately they will surmount them for betterment of the lives of Kenyans.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe have a good future as a country, we have problems but the solution to the challenges is not incitement, hatred and arguments but listening to each other opinions and sorting out the issues raised,\u201d the Deputy President remarked.<\/p>\n

The second in command called for peace arguing\u00a0 \u00a0that constructive criticism issued with respect from different quarters on several government projects will help address the transition challenges in several sector including the shift to the new university funding formula<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be rough to be effective\u2026the former president said we are one people and Kenya is one country from Mombasa to Turkana\u2026We must defend the unity of our country by staying in peace and knowing we don\u2019t choose where we are born,\u201d Kindiki urged.<\/p>\n

Kindiki acknowledged ills raised about government performance on issues surrounding corruption and accountability noting that addressing these issues was essential for creating an equitable environment for all regardless of their ethnic or political affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis country has enough opportunities and I know they could be gaps here and there.They are things the young people have told us about improving they way we conduct ourselves especially those in leadesrship.We must protect public property and fight corruption,\u201d<\/p>\n

Catholic bishops\u2019 lobby accused the Kenya Kwanza regime of perpetuating \u201ca culture of lies\u201d and using the State machinery to silence critics.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), Archbishop Maurice Muhatia, on Thursday led the bishops in calling out the government for failing to keep its election pledges, failing to listen to cries of ordinary people, and clawing back on Kenya\u2019s democratic gains.<\/p>\n

The church leaders openly criticised Ruto and his entire leadership, with Archbishop Muhatia saying a huge number of Kenyans no longer trust the government they voted in two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe culture of lies is swiftly replacing the integrity and respect that Kenyans deserve. Basically, it seems that truth does not exist, and if it does, it is only what the government says,\u201d Archibishop Muhatia said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, it seems that the Kenyans have helplessly tolerated the lies told to them constantly by the politicians. Kenyans must learn not to applaud or validate the lies that the politicians tell them, but rather must resolve to seek and be led by the truth.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
