The Anglican Church of Kenya, under the leadership of Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit, has voiced worry over the state of the nation and brought attention to problems with appointments to the public sector.
During a press conference held on Wednesday, the Anglican Bishops expressed their concerns about the prevalent tribalism and cronyism in public appointments. The Bishops highlighted that inequality is unacceptable and urged the government to address this issue.

In addition, the Bishops referred to the ongoing negotiations between the Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja Alliance, stating that political tensions are largely fueled by poor governance. They emphasized that no amount of talks will bring harmony if the government fails the accountability test. The Bishops called for a more transparent and accountable government that prioritizes the needs of all Kenyans, regardless of their tribal affiliations.
In their opinion, the government is treading on a dangerous path by relaxing its efforts in the fight against corruption. These views are being expressed amidst a growing discontent over the perceived one-sidedness of state appointments.
Critics have accused President Ruto’s administration of giving preference to his allies while disregarding individuals from other communities.
