A cross section of churches have petitioned President elect William Ruto to commence fulfilling promises he gave to the residents within 100 days in office.
Evangelical Churches of Kenya, Kisii county, chairman Bishop Charles Isaboke remarked ordinary residents and the faithful underwent economic difficulties which required urgent fixing by the President.
The petition was indicative of Kenyan’s heightened anxiety over expediting of constitution of the new political dispensation to pave way for service delivery.
He cited rising cost of foodstuffs and petroleum products as some of the essential non-affordable items by the ordinary citizens whose price review Ruto had promised.
Bishop Isaboke, explained the church was a tax payer and should also benefit from the several pledges made by the President elect during the election campaign period.
Kenyans, he claimed were more inclined to vote overwhelmingly in subsequent general polls if they were assured of the government’s commitment to address their economic challenges.
He appealed to the faithful to maintain peace even as the newly elected government settled to consider their needs.
