Archbishop Anthony Muheria has weighed into the current State of leadership in the country saying they ought to listen to the needs of the ordinary citizens.
Speaking in an interview with Citizen TV, Bishop Muheria appeared to call out President William Ruto by ostensibly labelling him as "arrogant and insulative".
“Leadership needs to be humane, empathetic, compassionate. Currently, the leader is rough, insulting, arrogant, and imposing," he said.
This comes after President William Ruto vowed to deal with both ODM leader Raila Odinga and Former President Uhuru Kenyatta if they don't change.

Bishop Muheria said with the current style of leadership, the country is heading in the wrong direction adding it is because of that the religious group wants dialogue.
He said the differences that are emerging in the country can only be handled through dialogue and not by insults and bitter exchange of words.
“We are one family and even though we think differently, we can sit down. A family’s feuds are not solved by violence, hatred, and insults,” Muheria said.
“We sit, chat, talk to one another with true listening, and then we concede and find a compromise. Sometimes we may not agree, but we don’t let that build bad manners.”
The remarks by Muheria come even as both the opposition and government take on each other over planned protests on Wednesday.
ODM Leader Raila Odinga has announced that they will hold protests three days a week starting this week Wednesday.
During the Friday protests last week, at least nine people were killed during the protests.
