Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit has called for sobriety in the ongoing Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) exercise.
The clergy, speaking to the Star on Tuesday, said that the exercise should be people-centred and should not take a political turn as is currently happening.
He also pointed out that the initiative should not be turned into a campaign tool for future elections, as that way it will not serve its intended purpose of delivering prosperity.
"We can begin to see a deviation from the original course. The church just wanted to see the prosperity of the country and wasn't taking sides on the matter," Ole Sapit told the Star.
He also stressed on the need for the ongoing BBI consultative forums to remain as forums and not take the image of campaign rallies.
According to the ACK leader, this way, Kenyans will be taken off the main issue, which is bettering the country and be taken down the political route, which will not be of any benefit to them.
"If it becomes a political rallies' document we lose it. We should have a people-centred approach," he noted.
The remarks come at a time when the push for constitutional changes is gaining momentum, with initially deemed opposed forces coming on board to support the ongoing BBI forums.
