The Methodist Church in Kenya (MCK) has issued a clarion call to the nation, urging Kenyans to rally behind a movement of unity, integrity, and healing. At its 60th Annual Conference, Rev. Dr. John Maromba, the newly-installed Presiding Bishop, delivered a thunderous address, excoriating corruption and moral decay, and charting a new course for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Nation at the Crossroads<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya stands at a critical juncture, grappling with the scourge of corruption, economic inequality, and political polarization. Rev. Dr. Maromba left no room for ambiguity, condemning corruption as a virulent cancer that is eating away at the nation’s moral fabric and economic vitality. He demanded that policymakers put the welfare of citizens at the forefront of their agenda, stressing that “a nation cannot thrive when its citizens lack basic necessities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Youth: Kenya’s Sleeping Giant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bishop expressed alarm at the simmering frustration among Kenyan youth, many of whom feel disillusioned and disenfranchised. He issued a rallying cry for urgent investments in job creation, empowerment, and opportunities that affirm the dignity of every young person. “Our young people feel discouraged and unseen,” he said, warning that the consequences of neglect could be catastrophic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Church Renewed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Dr. Maromba acknowledged the Methodist Church’s past failings, including internal leadership disputes and mismanagement scandals. However, he declared that the church is undergoing a metamorphosis, embracing a new era of transparency, accountability, and reconciliation. “We refuse to be defined by division,” he affirmed. “Our past will not define our future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Call to Arms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Methodist Church in Kenya is calling on Kenyans to join the fight for a better future, rejecting fear, division, and despair, and embracing faith, courage, and shared responsibility. Rev. Dr. Maromba urged journalists to champion accuracy, responsibility, and peace, recognizing the media’s critical role in shaping the national narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 60th Annual Conference marks a pivotal moment in Kenya’s history, setting a national and spiritual agenda rooted in unity, accountability, healing, and hope for a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
