Let us crucify graft: We may save our nation and children from ourselves

Catholic Archbishop Philip Anyolo leads faithful in the 'Way of Cross ' walk along Parliament Nairobi road, Nairobi. March 29th,2024 (Elvis Ogina, Standard)

In a country where patriotism and decorum pervades the conduct of public affairs, this article today would have been dedicated to the great story of crucifixion. This is especially so in a country that is led by Bible lifting leaders and whose millions of citizenry troop to places of worship every Friday, Saturday or Sunday without fail, depending on one's religious beliefs.

Furthermore, this is not only a Holy weekend for Christians, but also coincides with the Holy month for Muslims that is dedicated to prayer and fasting. Tying this to official statistics, 86 per cent of the population confess the Christian faith while 11 per cent are Muslims. The Hindus, traditionalists and atheists only account for about 3 per cent of the population.
