The church has taken notice of public's call for government to lower the cost of living and is now asking President William Ruto to lower taxes and freeze increment of statutory deductions for health and retirement insurances.
Through the National Council of Churches of Kenya umbrella, the clerics made a plea for the easing of the tax burden even as they pointed out that the country needs revenue to develop.
NCCK secretary general Canon Chris Kinyanjui urged President William Ruto to dialogue with the people over the issue during his countrywide tours.
"We strongly recommend that you provide reprieve for the people by lowering taxes and freezing statutory deductions for health and retirement insurances," he said.
Canon Kinyanjui said people need to be engaged and given assurance of better days as there is room for improvement.
"The hustlers and mama mbogas who believed the vision you shared are willing to walk the journey with you," Cannon Kinyanjui said.
The NCCK said that no one wants to live in a country where people keep complaining to government.
Kinyanjui spoke at Jumuiya County and Conference Home in Limuru where he led a two-day conference with NCCK members from all regions in the country.
He was also accompanied by the NCCK vice chairman Bishop John Okinda and other executive members of the council.
Cannon Kinyanjui also asked the government not to condemn the Judiciary, but deal individually with judicial officers it deems to be corrupt.
The clerics joined hands to condole with families who lost their loved ones in Thursday night's gas explosion tragedy in Embakasi.
"We have taken time to pray for those affected and have mobilised our member churches to offer all the help they can so that they recover" Kinyanjui said in a statement.
