It would be unwise for State to ignore Catholic bishops' counsel

Since President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza government are "born again" and have demonstrated their commitment to the word of God on several occasions, there is a biblical anecdote they need to revisit for some lessons. Like many other Kenyans, all we ask is that the government take correction from the Church - the voice of the people.

History records that between 874 BC and 853 BC, there arose a king in Israel whose story can be found in 1 Kings 22:1-28 and 2 Chronicles 18. This king, who was subsequently used in the Bible as a universal standard for wickedness, decided to attack another city in his quest to expand his kingdom.
