From Kenya-
Leaders have been told to stop politicising the Ocampo Six trials and warned against public utterances likely to rekindle violence in the country.
Anglican Church Archbishop Eliud Wabukala on Sunday told a congregation at the All Saints Cathedral that inflammatory statements could lead to anarchy as Education minister Sam Ongeri warned against hate speech.
“The Ocampo Six and ICC trials should not be politicised. This is a foundation for chaos in the General Election,” Dr Wabukala warned.
He urged the President and the Prime Minister to work together to ensure Kenyans had peace.
He urged Kenyans to pray for peace and displaced people in private.
“I advise them to go to their shrines, if they have any, and pray for the nation. We don’t want to encourage prayer in public as this can ignite violence,” he said.
Dr Wabukala said religious leaders had “a high calling” and should not allow themselves to be used to serve selfish political interests.
