CWN Editor's Note: In a statement released November 14, the Kenyan bishops’ conference expressed “deep concern about the disturbing political climate in our country.”
Speaking out about violence that has flared around public protests of government economic policies, the bishops said that “most people are losing trust in the government.” They chided political leaders for their “lack of sensitivity and irresponsibility.”
The bishops also expressed dismay about a rising trend in “abduction, disappearance, torture, and murder,” noting that many of the victims had been involved in political demonstrations. “Who is abducting these people?” they asked. “Is the government unable to stop these abductions and murders?”
