ODM leader Raila Odinga has asked the church to join the Building Bridges Initiative push as he sought to highlight the crucial role the institution plays in shaping public opinion.
He spoke as President Uhuru Kenyatta also appealed to the church to support “what is right,” in a speech delivered by Raila during the consecration of the Catholic Homa Bay Bishop Michael Odiwa yesterday.
“We want to see the church on our side. When we did the handshake, you supported us,” said Raila.
