Church leaders in Kenya have backed the British High Commissioner in Nairobi, and have called for senior ministers to resign amid government corruption claims.
Sir Edward Clay commented, "We are not talking about minor corruption. We are talking about massive looting and grand corruption which in total has a huge impact on Kenya's economy."
The High Commissioner caused great offence by his outspoken comments, and the Minister for Justice, Kiraitu Murungi said, "Sir Edward has behaved like an enemy of this government. We shall not entertain gung-ho democracy and politics dictated to us by foreigners."
However, now it has arisen that many senior church leaders in Kenya have stood alongside the Diplomat’s statements.
Archbishop Benjamin Nzambi, the Primate of Kenya called for government ministers to resign immediately from their office if they had been caught up in the scandal.
Nzimbi said that the President Mwai Kibaki, and his NARC political party had "totally let down Kenyans for reneging on all its pre-election pledges, among them zero-tolerance to corruption."
