Archbishop Muheria wants leaders to take responsibility over high cost of living
Nyeri
Catholic Archbishop Anthony Muheria expressed concerns about the high cost of
living and called on leaders to take responsibility instead of pointing fingers
when things go wrong.
“Many
problems have come but we are seeing a lot of pointing of fingers. The problems
are common and so solutions must be found together and it should be done by
people coming together and talking. From all walks of life. No one has a
monopoly of knowledge,” Muheria said on Sunday.
The
archbishop added that leaders are looking for scapegoats when there are
challenges as opposed to finding solutions.
“When
the power cut comes, instead of looking for solutions we are looking for
culprits. When we have blackouts let us look for solutions,” he said.
According
to Mũheria, the Catholic church is calling for a national dialogue from
different stakeholders to address the issues that are plaguing the country
including the economic challenges.
“Let
us sit and see what the problems are. We don't have a monopoly of those who
know about the economy. It's not the politicians who own the solutions it's
experts who have solutions, we should sit and have a conversation,” the
archbishop said.
The
archbishop said the country needs to pull together and talk to each other to
solve the challenges facing Kenya.
“This
Christmas should bring us to a place where we appreciate each other
irrespective of our standing in the society or even political persuasion,”
Muheria noted.
