The meetings are meant to reach an agreement on the current election stalemate.
Electoral commissioners and a number of church leaders have reached out to both leaders seeking them to have an agreement.
The Catholic Church has already written to the two requesting a meeting and they have conveyed that responses from the political leaders.
"We have already written to Uhuru and Raila. They have been quiet about it but we are optimistic that starting tomorrow (Monday), they should be willing to meet with us and other stakeholders involved in these efforts," said the Kenya Catholic Bishops Congress (KCCB) Chairman, Bishop Phillip Anyolo.
The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) met with the IEBC on Friday and will this week retreat to come up with astructured proposal to guide talks between the two leaders."We are worried about the rising political temperatures. Our secretariat will write to the two principals for a meeting. The level of emotion is really high. But this is the time the voice of reason must prevail. We all want to cross the river but we must first build a bridge. This can onlybe achieved through round-table dialogue," said Bishop Alfred Rotich, who heads the Catholic Peace and Justice Commission.
