Nairobi, 13 January, 2023 / 9:18 pm (ACI Africa).
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Homa Bay in Kenya has urged President William Samoei Ruto to live up to the pledges he made to Kenyans as detailed in his political manifesto, and to realize his presidential mandate with “integrity and decorum”.
Speaking during the launch of the affordable housing project in Homa Bay County covered by his Episcopal See on Friday, January 13, Bishop Michael Cornelius Odiwa lauded Kenya’s 5th President for honoring his promise to visit the Kenyan County to facilitate the realization of such a “mega project”.
“It is our plea, your Excellency, that as you placed before Kenyans a manifesto detailing your plan and course of action as President, you will keep to your word and deliver on your mandate with the integrity and decorum that your resolve and the nature of responsibility that you assumed demand,” Bishop Odiwa said in the message that was published on Facebook.
He expressed gratitude to the Head of State for visiting Homa Bay County and said the project whose realization the President was facilitating "will enable members of our society to secure affordable housing.”
The Kenyan Catholic Bishop who presided over the opening prayer during the launch of the affordable housing initiative described the project “as one of its kind in our region.”
