Catholic bishops have called for humane treatment of ‘innocent’ victims of ongoing demolitions even as they commended President Uhuru Kenyatta’s new resolve to fight corruption.

The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has thrown its weight in the ongoing purge against graft, calling for a ‘soft’ approach but in the same breath insisting that President Kenyatta should not weaken his resolve.
