Nyeri Archbishop Antony Muheria has called for an end to glorification of corruption and impunity in the country.
During Thursday’s holy mass preceding Good Friday, Archbishop Muheria urged leaders and citizens to cease glorifying vices like corruption, emphasizing that these degrade society.
“We must identify corruption for what it is, without sugarcoating it, to prevent it from becoming ingrained in our way of life,” Muheria stated.
He lamented the societal confusion regarding right and wrong, warning against the normalization and promotion of sin, crime, and evil as positive elements.
Muheria emphasized that Kenyans can and should live without corruption, falsehoods, and the infiltration of secular interests into religious spaces, urging respect for God and sacred places.
Expressing support for politicians willing to apologize sincerely, the bishop stressed the importance of genuine spiritual and physical repentance.
“In our nation, apologies are rare, and accountability is often deflected. This Easter, let us rediscover the essence of goodness, shun sin, and commit to uprooting corruption,” Muheria urged.
His remarks coincide with concerns raised by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission about the deepening entrenchment of corruption in society, posing a significant threat to the nation’s future. By Joseph Mwangi, Capital News
