NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 3...The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) in a press conference has called out the government over delay in Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) reconstitution adding that the persistent refusal by the current political leadership to reconstitute the IEBC is a major insult to the people of Kenya and the nation.

They have called on citizens not to give elected leaders and their appointees peace until they heed the demand for urgent recruitment of IEBC Commissioners as provided for in the constitution.

"We urge you to raise your voices to demand that the Judiciary concludes cases touching on the IEBC reconstitution within the next two weeks, we must get back our democracy", they said.

In addition they noted that Members of Parliament have betrayed the electorate who voted them into office calling on voters to collect signatures and commence the process of recalling MPs who are not performing as per people's  requirements  and demands.

"As the electorate you are the employer not a servant of the Members of Parliament and other elected leaders and the right to recall is the disciplinary measure availed to us by the constitution". Stated NCCK.

Furthermore, they highlighted corruption is the biggest threat to national  security and most destructive pandemic urging  that culture of celebrating the corruption should come to an end adding that they should be ashamed.

"We encourage all of us as Kenyans to reject contributions by political  leaders and their appointees knowing that most of the money given is stolen taxes, We must stop celebrating whenever leaders donate money whose sources are not clear".

The council said that all persons are free to worship services and give their offering but they will not allow sacred religious practice to be used for self promotion and marketing.

"We will continue propagating and applying the guidelines issued by the NCCK which requires that politicians should not be allowed to address congregations inside the church".
