The Catholic Church has accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of establishing policies targeted to weaken its role in society.

The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) cited the proposed Basic Education Bill 2024 and Universities (Amendment) Bill 2024 as some of the moves by the government to curtail their contribution in the country.
