The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops, following a meeting in Karen on November 14, 2025, expressed significant displeasure with President Ruto's government on several key issues. Their concerns span legislative action, education, healthcare, and governance.
The bishops cited the rushed passage of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act as a major point of contention.
They also criticised the Competency-Based Education (CBC) rollout, which they believe is driven more by politics than sound educational policy.
In the health sector, they noted the late and inadequate payments to hospitals operating services under the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Furthermore, the bishops raised alarms over alleged widespread corruption across government systems and pointed to the slow and inadequate response to natural disasters, particularly recent landslides.
These statements collectively represent a strong call for greater transparency, efficiency, and ethical governance from the current administration.
