National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has asked Nyeri Archbishop Antony Muheria to speak to retired President Uhuru Kenyatta for the sake of the nation.
Speaking on Wednesday, July 19 in Kericho County, Ichung’wah claimed that Uhuru is the instigator of the Azimio anti-government demonstrations and wants a share of power in the Kenya Kwanza government.
“I want to ask Archbishop Muheria because retired President Uhuru Kenyatta is your friend. If you want peace to prevail in our country speak to your brother, your friend, and your parishioner Uhuru Kenyatta because he is the instigator of all this violence including the schemes to hurt our children and use them as human shields so that they can negotiate for shared power in the Kenya Kwanza government,” said Ichung’wah.
This comes a day after Archbishop Muheria called out President William Ruto labeling his style of leadership as "arrogant and insulative".
Speaking in an interview with Citizen TV on Sunday Bishop Muheria said the government ought to listen to the needs of ordinary citizens.

“Leadership needs to be humane, empathetic, compassionate. Currently, the leader is rough, insulting, arrogant, and imposing," he said.
The Nyeri Archbishop went on to say the country is heading in the wrong direction with the current style of leadership.
He urged the government to have a dialogue with religious leaders saying it can handle the current emerging differences in the country.
“We are one family and even though we think differently, we can sit down. A family’s feuds are not solved by violence, hatred, and insults,” Muheria said.
“We sit, chat, talk to one another with true listening, and then we concede and find a compromise. Sometimes we may not agree, but we don’t let that build bad manners.”
