Religious leaders say they must share blame for Kenya's woes

Nairobi (ENI). Religious leaders from different faiths have said they share culpability for Kenya's calamitous state of affairs and they have ended a national day of prayer with call to all for a new beginning in the east African country. "We religious leaders equally accept we share the blame. We have demonstrated partisan values, where it called for national interests," the leaders said in statement issued at national prayers held on 8 February by the Inter-Religious Forum, which bring together Christians, Muslims and Hindu. "We are therefore calling on Kenya to a new beginning." [538 words, ENI-08-0111]
