Religious leaders have continued to pile pressure on President William Ruto and Opposition leader Raila Odinga to dialogue to avert the ongoing protests.
The protests they said have continued to push the country to a deeper crisis.
The leaders said dialogue should be based on a defined framework to allow all Kenyans to express their views.
In a joint statement Friday, the leaders under the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) were quick to dismiss any calls for power sharing between the two leaders.
"For the avoidance of doubt, we are not pushing for power sharing between the government and the Opposition...these two political structures have distinct roles in the Constitution," ACK Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit said.
The clergy said the dialogue framework should be multi-sectoral and steered by religious institutions for sustainability.
"There must also be a firm commitment that the outcomes of the process will be implemented to avoid a repeat of the past," he said.
They listed poverty, constitutional and land reforms, unemployment and ways to counter impunity as some of the issues to form the agenda of dialogue.
The mediation process, according to Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) vice chairman John Okinda will only commence if the Finance Act is repealed and the protests are suspended.
Okinda also renewed calls for the revival of the parliamentary bipartisan talks.
The country, he stated, is in a "precarious position that can lead to an existential crisis" should the matter not be addressed conclusively.
"Having an amicable process for the recruitment of the commissioners will restore political stability and enable the nation to bring the 2022 poll to a closure," he said.
Supkem chairman Hassan Ole Naado condemned the excessive use of force by police in containing the chaos during demonstrations.
