Kenya’s Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, has urged religious leaders to remain politically neutral and resist becoming platforms for divisive rhetoric. Koskei specifically called on the church to discourage politicians from exploiting religious institutions to create discord among citizens. He emphasized the church’s potential to provide ethical and constructive feedback to political leadership. Rather than becoming entangled in partisan battles, Koskei believes the church should focus on fostering national unity and offering guidance based on moral principles. This call reflects concerns over increasing political polarization and the potential for manipulation of religious institutions for political gain. The official underscored the vital role the church plays in society and its unique position to promote peaceful coexistence.
