Kenya's Deputy President Kithure Kindiki asked church leaders to correct government officials with love. He noted tensions exist between government officials and faith groups but said this creates unnecessary conflict. The government views religious institutions as partners helping improve Kenyan lives, not competitors, according to Kindiki. He compared the relationship to biblical kings who consulted prophets before making major decisions.

Kindiki explained that both serve the same people but fulfill different God-given roles. He spoke at the Africa Revival Agenda Conference, where about 4,500 religious leaders from all countries gathered. Kindiki mentioned that church leaders sometimes correct politicians harshly as if they harbor additional grievances. He assured attendees that the Kenya Kwanza administration welcomes recommendations and accepts loving correction.

The deputy president emphasized that all authority comes from God, but that does not prevent church leaders from guiding officials who make mistakes. He promised the government would address property disputes affecting churches across the country. Many congregations struggle with land registration issues and title deed problems that remain unresolved. Kindiki committed to working with religious leaders to help churches secure legal documentation for their properties.
