Religious leaders are calling on the president to dissolve and restructure his cabinet amid ongoing anti-government protests.

They also want the president to remove the inspector general of police as part of the changes to put the administration back on track.

The leaders, speaking during an interdenominational service to remember the teenagers murdered in the demonstrations, also promised to rid the pulpit of politicians.

"It didn’t matter what denomination they belonged to," they all gathered at the All Saints Cathedral, united in prayers for the families of the youth who lost their lives in protests over the last three weeks.

The prayers were called by the National Council of Churches of Kenya and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, and all member churches performed prayers and memorial services to remember those killed in the recent anti-tax protests.

Religious leaders condemned the police violence that killed scores of people and wounded hundreds.

Leaders at All Saints Cathedral emphasized that the president still has a lot of work to do to right the ship, urging him to dismiss the government and start over.

Religious leaders praised the students for not only taking a position but also taking action that resulted in the repeal of repressive legislation.

They also admitted their failings and promised to reform, while the youth demanded more accountability.
