Masii/Vyulya Ward – Timothy Ndambuki, the Archbishop of the Africa Brotherhood Church (ABC) and the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) Chairman, has made a powerful call for the church to reclaim its role as a moral watchdog and openly challenge government actions that go against the public good.
Speaking at the ABC Kang’etha Church, Ndambuki urged church leaders to be fearless advocates for justice and hold leaders accountable for their actions.
Ndambuki noted that the clergy holds a crucial responsibility to guide the government toward ethical governance. According to him, it is time for the church to lead the way in calling out wrongful actions, particularly when citizens’ rights are at stake.
In his address, Ndambuki expressed concern over the close ties between the church and political leaders, especially those in government, which he believes has compromised the church’s moral authority to question injustices. He described it as an alarming trend that undermines the church’s capacity to speak out against corruption, abuses of power, and social injustices.
The NCCK Chairman further condemned the disturbing reports of abductions and forced disappearances under the current administration, stating, “It is heartbreaking that such evils are happening, yet the church remains silent instead of standing firmly with the people.”
