Thursday's press conference by the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) continues to elicit varied reactions from the political class. The KCCB appreciated the government's efforts in ensuring peace and stability but issued a strongly-worded press conference entitled "Let Us Restore Hope", expressing their concerns over "the troubling political climate that has gripped Kenya."
The bishops lamented lack of clear responses from the government despite several statements from them. This time though, the government's responses were fast and furious, with counter accusations that KCCB is out of touch with reality. The government said it had paid debts left by NHIF to the Catholic-managed health facilities, and promised to pay the rest next week. The State also sought to remind the church that Senate had already rejected a Bill to extend elected leaders' terms to seven years.
