President Ruto deploys a church-driven strategy to address Kenyan youth challenges as he meets AIPCA bishops at the State House.
President William Ruto’s engagement with religious leaders continued on Saturday as he hosted bishops from the African Independent Pentecostal Church Africa (AIPCA).
The meeting comes in the wake of the ongoing nationwide anti-government protests.
It follows a similar one with those from the Catholic Church Friday.
During the meeting with 96 bishops at the State House in Nairobi, President William Ruto proposed the formation of a multi-sectoral forum to help quell the ongoing protests.
According to the president, the multi-sectoral forum will help address the lights raised by the youths in the country.
The multi-sectoral forum seeks to bring together a range of stakeholders who will participate in dialogue and decision-making to come up with a lasting solution to the current situation facing the country.

“The proposed youth and multi-sectoral forums will give the youth and other stakeholders a platform to discuss these and other national economic challenges that face our country,” Ruto stated.
“Met leaders of the African Independent Pentecostal Church Africa who committed to participate in the multi-sectoral forum. They included 96 bishops led by Presiding Archbishop Samson Muthuri,” he added.
President Ruto also announced the government had already lined up several programs and policies to create more jobs and income opportunities for young people.
The programs included the Affordable Housing Program, digital jobs, labour migration, and industrialization through county aggregation industrial parks, and special economic zones.
