Inter-Religious Council of Kenya in partnership with National Anti-Corruption Campaign Steering Committee launched Scripture Referenced Anti-Corruption materials, Eastern Region and Rift Valley Region.

Religious Leaders were presented with the scriptural referenced anti-corruption booklets to present to their grassroots structures. Religious leaders will cascade the campaign against corruption downstream. This will afford an opportunity with their congregations to discuss the books and help initiate distribution among congregational and community members.

“Youth representation and involvement in decision-making is still very low. Youth play a leading role in innovation and form the backbone of the rural labor force.

They struggle with financial security, value-driven leadership and political choices that make them vulnerable. We need to resist any attempts of being used to engage in violence and actively take up decision-making positions.” – Philbert Aganyo Chair, Kenya Interfaith Youth Network.
