Archbishop Anyolo asks church leaders eyeing political seats to resign

The Archbishop of Nairobi Philip Anyolo has asked church leaders intending to vie in the August 9 General Elections to resign by end of February.

Anyolo, in a statement, said “this is to avoid any form of conflict of interest during the campaign period.”

This is also in line with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) requirement that public servants eyeing elective positions in the 2022 polls should exit office by February 9.

Further, the Archbishop has extended by a year the term of elected leaders of the Nairobi Catholic Archdiocese.

The elections were to be held this month but now moved to January 2023.

Anyolo explained that this was instituted by changes endorsed during the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) Plenary Assembly in May 2021.
