Former presidential candidate has challenged religious leaders, to come out and help the country unite its citizens, following the September 1, Supreme Court ruling.
In the ruling, judges, led by Chief Justice David Maraga annulled the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta, in the August 8 polls, saying the election by IEBC, was faced with irregularities and illegalities, following a petition by the National Super Alliance (Nasa).
President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto and other Jubilee Party leaders have since launched attacks on Maraga and his team, saying he favoured Raila Odinga's (Nasa) and that he would deal with him.
James Ole Kiyiapi slammed the clergy, wondering why they had not spoken over the matter, despite various leaders coming out to defend the Judiciary from Kenyatta's attacks.
According to the former Education Permanent Secretary, the country is now divided, and needs peace, with help of the spiritual leaders.
"Where is the Kenyan clergy/spiritual leaders? Who will speak to peace of the nation for such a time as this?" wondered Kiyiapi, Sunday.
He also called for ugent investigations into IEBC, saying those responsible for the failed elections should face legal action.
"Urgent investigations IEBC will reveal those responsible for the mess in 2017 presidential election no need for blanket condemnation!"
