Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Archbishop Eliud Wabukala has asked political leaders to seek dialogue on controversial matters instead of trading accusations amongst themselves.
Speaking at Nakuru’s Section 58 on Thursday, Archbishop Wabukala said that problems facing the country will not be addressed when leaders are wrangling.
He said that it is high time politicians buried their differences and focused on improving lives of Kenyans.
“My appeal is to politicians to stop wrangles and work together to address problems facing Kenyans in a sober manner instead of exchanging words in public,” advised Archbishop Wabukala.
He said that leaders have a role to provide good leadership skills and values that members of the society can emulate.
Archbishop Wabukala added that leadership is all about working for the people noting that Kenyans are in need of services and not constant political wrangles witnessed some among leaders.
Meanwhile, the Archbishop appealed to the government to deal with corruption. He noted that cases of corruption have risen, a behaviour which if not dealt with quickly, will sink this country.
He also intimated that corruption is a big hindrance to development and that action must be taken against all the perpetrators.
Archbishop Wabukala urged Churches to speak against social evils including corruption, drug abuse, prostitution among many others.
This comes as quite a number of County government MCAs and governors have gone public in exchanging bitter words in blame game.
