From Kenya-
The Anglican Church has accused political leaders of trying to change the constitution using shortcuts. Bishop Julius Kalu of Mombasa said the country is superior to individuals who are out to satisfy their selfish interests in introducing or deleting clauses in the Bills without public scrutiny.
He called on the government to follow the constitution in implementing it. He said Kenyans expect to fully benefit from the constitution they overwhelmingly voted for in the referendum. "Kenyans read and understood the constitution before they voted for it. They know what is expected from the constitution. Leaders therefore should not try to use shortcuts for their personal interests," said Bishop Kalu.
He was speaking after a harvest festival service at ACK Mombasa Memorial Cathedral where he led the thanksgiving service ahead of the ASK Mombasa International Show this week. The church yesterday received food aid worth close to Sh100 million from partners abroad. Some 4,000 families in Mombasa will receive food from the church in the next five months.
