KENYA: Council of Churches Calls for Tightened Covid -19 Safety Measures in School
By Njoki Githinji
NAIROBI, JANUARY 8, 2021 (CISA)-The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has called for continued effort to ensure safety measures are fully in place to protect students from Covid-19 as schools reopened January 4.
“We have noted that there is need for continued investment in the schools to ensure control measures are effectively implemented. We urge the government to fast-track the payment and delivery of desks that were procured last year, and to facilitate construction of class rooms. This is critical in view of the rise in number of leaners in public schools following closure of many private institutions,” the council said in January 7 statement signed by Canon Chris Kinyanjui, Secretary General of NCCK.

Church leaders are rooting for consensus on the push to amend the Constitution under the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
Addressing the press yesterday after a two-day National Christian Conference, the church leaders said they neither support nor oppose the constitutional amendment process under BBI.
The conference, held at Ufungamano House in Nairobi, was themed, “Informed and Participatory Decision-Making on Constitutional Amendments”.
It was convened by the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops-Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (KCCB-CJPC) and the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) under the auspices of the Ecumenical Civic Engagement Programme (ECEP).
