NAIROBI, January 6, 2012 (CISA) -A Catholic priest on January 1, urged political leaders in Kenya to ensure that they preached more about love, peace, justice and reconciliation in 2012.Fr Simon Peter Kamomoe, priest-in-Charge of the Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi noted that 2012 is special for Kenyans particularly due to general elections to take place later in the year.
“With our general elections coming up this year, I call on the politicians to ensure that they use public forums to talk more on peace, justice and reconciliation and at all cost say NO to violence,” he said.
All this will only be possible if we all trust in God, Fr Kamomoe said while saying homily to mark the ushering in of the New Year.
“The solution to our challenges as we usher in the New Year is trusting in God,”
“We need to pray to God that all will be peaceful and nothing of what surfaced in country’s last elections, 2007 will ever resurface,” he concluded.
