PRESS RELEASE FROM NYANZA COUNCIL OF CHURCH LEADERS

24-1-2011.

ON Behalf of Church leaders in Nyanza Province, I categorically condemn the so called ‘KKK’ Alliance as it is seen as a tribal outfit which is meant to divide the country along tribal lines.

Any leader with a vision to lead this country cannot bend whatsoever on tribal movements as this will not help at all in uniting Kenyans.

I am surprised to read in a section of the press when Hon. Ruto and his allies in the Alliance have now distanced themselves from the Alliance that was started in a year ago. They are denying and accepting it and this is only meant to confuse Kenyans. They should not blame the media on this issue as the purported Alliance is their own achievement

The ‘KKK’ Alliance officials are full of hatred and backbiting and therefore are not trusted with the leadership of this country at any level.

Leadership is not constituted in being young or old and leaders are chosen by God hence there is no Scripture in The Bible indicating that an old man cannot lead.

Even in some countries in Africa, and more so in Kenya, The Country’s first President Jommo Kenyatta took the leadership when he was old and the same scenario applied to Former South African President Nelson Mandela who liberated his people from Apartheid rule at an old age.

Therefore the Question of being young or old does not arise, what is important is whether someone can deliver when elected as a leader.

I am warning all Kenyans to be wary and not agree to be dragged into tribal Alliances which will not help in uniting them.

Time has now come when we must stop responding to national matters as tribes or identify ourselves as such.

Let Kenyans choose the leaders of their choice, the ones who can serve the country and its citizens without fear, favor and make it achieve the greater development politically, socially and economically.

Signed

Bishop Dr. Washington Ogonyo Ngede.

CHAIRMAN NYANZA COUNCIL OF CHURCH LEADERS.
