The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) will address a press conference on the state of the nation.
The bishops from all the 28 dioceses meeting at Donum Dei in Karen will speak to several issues affecting the nation at 10.30 am.
KCCB is the assembly of all Catholic Bishops in Kenya who collectively exercise their pastoral office to promote the Catholic Church's mission in the country.
It is a permanent institution that works to promote the greater good of society by focusing on various apostolates and is involved in national issues such as development aid, social services, and advocacy on matters of national concern, like anti-corruption and care reform
In July, KCCB said the church will not be cowed into silence amid poor leadership.
KCCB underscored the importance of the voice of the church in societal issues.
The bishops said they will continue raising the voice of Kenyans amid challenges such as poverty, inequality, youth unemployment, and a lack of transparency in government.
