Nairobi, 09 April, 2024 / 11:30 am (ACI Africa).
The Speaker of the National Assembly in Kenya has recognized with appreciation the role that Catholic Bishops are playing in the East African nation.
In his congratulatory remarks during the Saturday, April 6 Episcopal Consecration of Bishop Simon Peter Kamomoe and Bishop Wallace Ng’ang’a Gachihi as Auxiliary Bishops for the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi, Hon. Moses Masika Wetang'ula said, “I would like to salute the new Bishops and all the Bishops present for continuing to be the moral barometer of our country, the moral rectitude of our society.”
Hon. Wetang’ula, who represented the President of Kenya, Dr. William Samoei Ruto at the Consecration event said that the Kenyan head of State “respects the Catholic Church and all other churches in the country for the work they are doing to collaborate with the government in the sectors of education and health and all other sectors that foster the wellbeing of the country.”
He went on to share Dr. Ruto’s message to the newly Consecrated Bishops, saying, “The president says that you should now collaborate with other Bishops to ensure that the Church continues to be the measuring rod for the good deeds in our country.”
“You should not be afraid to openly say that which is going wrong because your voice is considered to be from God,” Speaker Wetang’ula told Bishop Kamomoe and Bishop Ng’ang’a during the April 6 event that was held at St. Mary’s Msongari School grounds in Westlands, Nairobi.
