“The children listening to you are shocked. The young people listening to you are traumatized…”

𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 “𝑇𝘩𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑏𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔.” We are deeply concerned about what is going on in the country. We want to call for restraint and decorum in public speaking. I appeal to leaders, especially political leaders, to exercise restraint. The children listening to you are shocked. The young people listening to you are traumatized because, in you, they see the collapse of their aspirations for leadership. The adults listening to you are embarrassed. You are a poor representation of our generation, and we are struggling to identify with you. When you publicly insult each other in front of citizens, you do not just disrespect one another, you also disrespect the citizens. That is the message you are sending us. Not everything that crosses your mind must be spoken. Please exercise restraint. This country belongs to more than 50 million Kenyans, not just to yourselves. The verbal indiscipline we are witnessing is indicative of something even more troubling. Let us respect one another as we respect our brothers and sisters. You can disagree with people without insulting them. Disagreement is acceptable, but public insults are a disgrace. Give us a break. If you must insult each other, find a bunker somewhere underground. Go there, just the two of you, and insult each other. When you are done, come back and join us in nation-building. We love our country, and we respect our leaders, but not when you behave in this manner. You are embarrassing this great nation, Kenya. We pray for you, that you may be transformed in your leadership and guide the people to where God expects them to be, for these are the children of God. Kenya is loved by God, and we expect only the best from those who have been chosen to represent us and lead our country to greatness. Thank you very much, and God bless you all. 𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑒𝑣.

Lenten Campaign 2026 – Week 4: Youth & Technology Technology can empower or exploit. Kenyan youth must be equipped with ethical digital skills to resist cybercrime, misinformation and exploitation and instead use technology to promote truth, dignity and opportunity. Let us guide our youth to be light in the digital space. #LentenCampaign2026 #YouthandTechnology #CJPDKenya

Lenten Campaign 2026 – Week 3: Sanctity & Dignity of Human Life Every human life is sacred and created in the image of God. No one should ever be exploited, trafficked or treated as a commodity. This Lent, we are called to defend life, protect the vulnerable and promote a society that upholds the dignity of every person. #LentenCampaign2026 #CJPDKenya

KCCB–CJPD convened a stakeholder engagement forum in Isiolo County, bringing together County Government officials, Ward Planning Committees (WPCs) and community representatives to strengthen collaboration on locally led climate action.

Lenten Campaign 2026 – Week 2: Ballooning Debt & Over-taxation Ballooning public debt and rising taxes are placing an unjust burden on ordinary Kenyans, especially the poor and vulnerable. Economic decisions must serve the common good, not deepen inequality. This Lent, we call for transparency, accountability and responsible stewardship of public resources. #LentenCampaign2026 #DebtJustice #TaxJustice #CJPDKenya

Our fasting is meant to move us to care for our neighbours—especially those who are hungry, displaced, or marginalised. On the World Day of Social Justice, read more in our Lent reflection about the importance of addressing the causes of poverty. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…

On this Ash Wednesday, @fidakenya joins Christians in marking the beginning of the Lenten season; a sacred period of reflection, repentance, prayer, & renewal. As believers receive the ashes & embark on the 40-day spiritual journey toward Easter, we wish them a meaningful season

"Despite the masks we wear and the cleverly crafted ploys meant to distract us, the ashes remind us of who we are. This is good for us. It reshapes us, reduces the severity of our narcissism, brings us back to reality and makes us more humble and open to one another: none of us is God; we are all on a journey." Pope Francis, Wednesday, March 5, 2025 ow.ly/gx6I50YhmT4
