Church leaders in Kenya are blaming the State for a disturbing trend of politically motivated violence and disruptions, warning it could trigger widespread unrest ahead of the General Election.

• Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit and the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) are leading the concerns.
• Recent incidents include a violent disruption at ACK All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi and an earlier attack at ACK St Peter’s Witima Church in Othaya, Nyeri County.
• The clergy are questioning the lack of arrests and demanding accountability, with Archbishop Sapit calling for the resignation of the Inspector General of Police if perpetrators remain unpunished.
