Opposition leaders are pressuring President William Ruto's administration to heed the counsel of Kenya's clergy, warning that ignoring religious leaders could lead to deeper political and social turmoil.

• Concerns are rising over the cost of living and governance in Kenya.
• Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka are among those intensifying pressure.
• The clergy are seen as articulating the "frustrations, fears, and hopes of ordinary citizens."
