KENYA: Archbishop Muheria Condemns Societal Ills Engulfing Kenya

Nyeri Archbishop Anthony Muheria has condemned rampant killings, corruption and abortions reported regularly on the news in Kenya media, saying they are causing pain to families, friends and society.

“Today the news we read or watch speaks mainly of the atrocious actions of the evil one. These last days have caused great sorrow to hear of so many cruel murders among couples, siblings, and even friends. The cruellest acts that we can only call beastly, where man has lost his humanity, and become worse than an animal,” said Archbishop Muheria in his Easter message of 2019

He further said it is unfortunate that people are deeply   involved   in   dishonesty and corruption, refusing to abide by the laws and involving themselves in hideous crimes like abortion while others are duping Kenyans through betting and gambling businesses.

“We are the ones doing the business of betting and gambling to feed the monster of greed that leads to theft and poverty,” he said.

He urges Christians to courageously proclaim the Risen Lord by showing that they can live their faith through good deeds and repentance.

Archbishop Muheria also said that the wrong doers or perpetrators of crimes should be assisted and corrected.
