Corruption is becoming a pain in the neck of many Kenyans. This is a menace that has robbed this country of billions of shillings that could have been used to better the lives of Kenyans.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has publicly displayed his frustrations at the manner in which the Country continues to fall victim to a few greedy individuals who have greatly mastered the art of stealing.
The President seem to have finally found a solution to the Corruption menace. According to Uhuru, Kenyans should embrace religious teachings to help them overcome national challenges like Corruption.
The President said if Christians lived their lives right, had compassion for those who do not have and lived in the way of the Bible, there would be no corruption and other related vices in Kenya.
“If we did live in the way of the Bible, we would respect one another. And if we did live in the way we are taught, we would be able to forgive one another in order to have a healed country,” the President said.
“We all know what our challenges are, let us conquer those challenges by living every day in a manner that befits good Christians,” he added.
President Uhuru was speaking at the Nairobi Club grounds last evening where he presided over the National Bible Translation Fundraising dinner to help translate the Bible into more local languages so that more Kenyans can read the word of God in their indigenous languages.
According to Rev. Peter Munguti, the National Director of the Bible Translation and Literacy, the Bible has only been translated completely into 21 languages out of the 60 local languages in Kenya.
“This project is important as it is geared towards ensuring that every single Kenyan, regardless of where he or she was born, will have the opportunity to read the bible in a language that speaks to their heart,” President Uhuru said during the fundraising that was organized by Deputy President William Ruto, the Bible Society of Kenya and the Bible Translation and Literacy.
Saying he swore to defend and protect the Kenyan constitution, President Uhuru pointed out that Kenya is a God-fearing nation and called on Kenyans to respect each other’s religious beliefs as a way of fostering national unity and cohesion.
“We are a nation that understands that we have many colours, many communities, many religions and we are a nation of tolerance,” President Uhuru said.
“That is why I am happy to see many from other faiths here supporting this cause just as we shall support their causes because our nation is a tolerant one. That is what we are supposed to be able to do to build tolerance and acceptance,” the President emphasized.
