The Catholic Church has called for a shift of focus from the amendment of the Constitution through the Building Bridges Initiative, saying it can come after the August 2022 General Election.

In a statement on the state of the nation released at the Marian National Shrine in Subukia, Nakuru County on Wednesday, the church said as the fate of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill awaits the conclusion of a court process, the country should shift focus to the General Election.
