The cleric has asked the State to channel the funds meant to compensate the families of those who died during the June 2025 protest to the Kenya National Humans Rights Commission.
Under the umbrella of the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), the church leaders asked the State to remove the channelling of those from the Ministry of Interior to it’s human rights arm.
The church leaders said that KNHRC has been participating in the victims verification process of together the Ministry of Interior, adding that it would ensure that justice is done to all victims.
NCCK secretary general Canon Chris Kinyanjui said the funds should not be used to cover up the justice being demanded by the victims families.
Speaking at Jumuiya Conference and Country Home at Kabuku area in Limuru sub county, Canon Kinyanjui said that the NCCK will follow up to ensure that justice has been done.
He was accompanied by NCCK chairman Rev Dr Elias Agolla and over 70 members of the council.
The NCCK held it’s meeting on Thursday, the day in which the GenZ were remembering those who died during the June 25, 2025 protest which was meant to compel the legislators to reject the then’s Finance Bill.
The secretary general also condemned how issues raised by the young people are handled.
Canon Kinyanjui said the reason as to why June 25 every year since 2025 is remembered and watched by many people including church leaders, civil societies, international community, is because of how youths were handled by state agents in June 2025.
The cleric said many young people were killed, others were injured, maimed and others were left frustrated, since they were left with a bad picture of the government.
“We strongly condemn the inhumane trend where the youth are being met with. We want no more violence every time they express their minds and hearts. It is our strong prayer and appeal
to listen and take what the youth are saying” Kinyanjui said.
The NCCK also urged the police service to work closely with the public so as create a better working relations and built trust with the publics.
Canon Kinyanjui also urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to be firm on issues raised by the public that some politicians were working closely with goons.
The NCCK on this issue resolved to restrain it’s member churches from allowing politicians address their congregations.
“We should restrain politicians from addressing our member churches. Let them meet our members in other activities of our villages and estates” Canon Kinyanjui said.
