Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has called for a fortified partnership between the government and faith-based organisations to strengthen peace, moral leadership, and national development.
Speaking during a meeting with Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit, head of the Anglican Church in Kenya, Mudavadi highlighted the role of faith leaders as influential voices in fostering dialogue and social cohesion.
Key Points from the Meeting
- Faith organisations are crucial in uniting communities and promoting national unity.
- Strong nations depend not only on institutions but also on shared values that bond citizens.
- Constructive engagement between government and churches helps bridge societal divides.
- Peace and stability are economic assets that encourage investment and sustainable livelihoods.
Mudavadi has previously engaged with Catholic bishops, reaffirming the government's commitment to collaborate closely with religious groups as partners in advancing democratic ideals and development.
He also noted that Kenya’s foreign policy recognises religious institutions as key players in diplomacy, citing the establishment of a resident mission to the Holy See as evidence of strengthened ties with the Vatican.
