Catholic bishops have stepped up their push-back against the government by launching a 40-day campaign and prayers against injustice, social and economic ills bedeviling the nation.

Speaking in Mombasa Friday, the clergy condemned runaway corruption, arbitrary abductions, over-taxation and the introduction of a dysfunctional new Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).
