3 Lenten Campaign 2015
Lent in the Catholic Church Lent is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and penitence before Easter. In the Christian tradition, this is the period of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday (Sundown). This annual commemoration prepares the faithful through prayer, repentance, giving alms and self- denial, for the events linked to the Passion of Christ and the celebration of his resurrection. Liturgical catechumens are baptised on Easter.
Why 40 days? The number 40 is important in the life of Christians. Moses and the Israelites, for example, wandered in the desert for 40 years as they prepared to go to the Promised Land. Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking water, where he had gone to receive the tablets of the covenant God made with the Israelites. In the time of Noah, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Elijah spent 40 days and 40 nights on Mount Horeb without food. In the New Testament, Jesus was led to the wilderness where he fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.
Why the Kenya Lenten Campaign? In the spiritual mood of Lent, the Catholic Church in Kenya thought it important to inform the public of the problems affecting society and advocate for change. Through the Lenten Campaign, the Catholic Bishops call all Christians and people of goodwill to join them in addressing these problems and advocate for change. By joining the bishops in advocacy, individual efforts, our small voices become much louder and each individual’s action is multiplied.
4 Preface
Build Family and Nation in Dignity…. Today’s Seeds, Tomorrow’s Harvest
he family is the first cell of human society and, therefore, it is of unique importance to the Church and to the nation. It is the family that sends out sons and daughters to build up human society. TTherefore, the quality of life in society and in the Church is determined by the kind of character formation that goes on in the home. The family is truly the ‘school of humanity’ (Gaudium et Spes, 52)
Christ, who was sent into this world to implement the predetermined plan of the one who guides all things; began His mission by being born in a family and living in it for the most part of His life on earth. By living in a family situation, Christ was witnessing to the world about the unique importance of the family. In this way, Christ emphasised the role of the domestic Church for the fulfilment of His Father’s plan for His people. “In a family, a person learns endurance, the joy of work, fraternal love, and generosity in forgiving others – repeatedly at times – and above all divine worship in prayer and the offering of one’s life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1657).
If the family is going to address today’s challenges, then we need to do something practical. We need to emphasise that prayer and catechesis in the family are important in addressing many pertinent challenges facing the family. And with strong families we shall build a strong nation.
Family prayer For families to remain strong against all kinds of adversities, they are encouraged to have morning, midday, evening and night prayers, pray the Rosary and read and meditate on the Word of God. The family that prays together, stays together.
Family catechesis There is need to have a Catholic Catechism in every home. Encourage home catechesis, have holy pictures, books on the lives of saints, social life education for children and set good examples in the home at all times.
5 Lenten Campaign 2015
Guiding engaged couples in their preparation for marriage If the family is the cell of the human society and the Church, we must take very seriously how young people are prepared for marriage life. Many concentrate on their wedding day and forget the life-long commitment they are about to enter into. As Christian families, we need to look into this preparation by following the guidelines already provided.
“A crisis in a couple’s relationship destabilises the family and may lead, through separation and divorce, to serious consequences for adults, children and society as a whole, weakening its individual and social bonds.” (Synod 14, no. 10) Remote preparation Remote preparation includes infancy, childhood and adolescence, and it takes place first of all in the family and also in the school and formation groups, as a valid assistance to the family. This is the period in which respect for all authentic human values, both in interpersonal and social relations, is transmitted and instilled, with all that these imply for the formation of character, self-control and self-esteem, the proper use of one’s inclinations, and respect for persons of the other sex. Moreover, especially for Christians, a solid spiritual and catechetical formation is also required (Cf. Preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage: Pontifical Council for the Family, No. 22).
Proximate preparation Proximate preparation takes place during the period of engagement. It consists of specific courses and must be distinguished from immediate preparation, which is usually concentrated during the last meetings between the engaged and pastoral workers before the celebration of the sacrament. During proximate preparation, it seems useful to provide the possibility to verify the maturation of the human values pertaining to relationship of friendship and dialogue that should characterise the engagement. (Cf. Preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage: Pontifical Council for the Family, No. 32)
Accompanying the married couple in the initial years of marriage “The initial years of marriage are vital and a sensitive period during which couples become aware of the challenges and meaning of married life. Consequently, pastoral accompaniment needs to go beyond the actual
6 Preface celebration of the Sacrament. In this regard, experienced couples are of great importance in any pastoral activity” (Synod 14 no. 40).
In Week One, we shall discuss Tribalism, Clannism and Politics, which seem to take a centre stage in our country, affecting our development. St John Paul II has taught that we need ‘new evangelisation’ to address this problem.
“The new evangelisation will thus aim at building up the Church as Family, avoiding all ethnocentrism and excessive particularism, trying instead to encourage reconciliation and true communion between different ethnic groups, favouring solidarity and the sharing of personnel and resources among the particular churches, without undue ethnic considerations.” (John Paul II, Ecclesia in Africa, 63)
Security will be discussed in Week Two. It is important to know that security has many facets and it is not only the absence of physical insecurity. It has to be approached in a holistic manner.
Our theme this Lent touches on the Family. In Week Three we shall discuss the Family and Morality. There is need for us to address the challenges that are facing families today. St John Paul II has captured this very well when he writes: “The family in the modern world, as much as perhaps more than any other institution, has been beset by the many profound and rapid changes that have affected society and culture. Many families are living this situation in fidelity to those values that constitute the foundation of the institution of the family. Others have become uncertain and bewildered over their role or even doubtful and almost unaware of ultimate meaning and truth of conjugal and family life. Finally, there are others who are hindered by various situations of injustice in the realisation of their fundamental rights.” (John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio 1)
Rights of the Minority and Marginalised Groups will be discussed in Week Four. Here we shall have to interrogate how we treat those who are disadvantaged in our families and society. We shall have to know that the marginalised are also our brothers and sisters, members of the family of God and we shall be judged how we treat them. (Cf. Matt. 25:34ff)
The last week, in Week Five, we shall address the pertinent issues of Devolved Governments and Management of Resources. We shall have to see whether we participate actively on how we are governed. The Church
7 Lenten Campaign 2015 encourages Christ’s faithful to participate in their governance and to advocate for accountability and transparency at all levels of governance, from the family to the National Government.
This Lent should be an opportunity for us to fast for integrity of Christian life in order for us all to lead a dignified family life and become a dignified Nation. I wish you all a blessed Lent.

8 Tribalism, Clannism and Politics
9 Week 1
Tribalism, Clannism and Politics
See nce upon a time there was a wedding in the skies and birds of all kinds were invited. The Tortoise was invited too. Before they took off, they made a covenant to guide them throughout their Ojourney and during the wedding ceremony. Sharing everything equally was the main pillar in the deal. They chose Tortoise to be their leader and every bird agreed to donate a feather to enable him to fly.
The Tortoise and the birds flew to the skies for the wedding. Upon reaching there, they were welcomed by the host. Each guest was asked to introduce him/herself. But when it came to the turn of the tortoise he shrewdly introduced himself as “ALL OF YOU (NINYI NYOTE)”.
When food was brought for the guests, the server announced: “It’s for all of you.” Everything that was served — food, gifts, milk, fruits, wine, etc. — was for “all of you”.
The Tortoise feasted on all the food and drinks that were served. The birds were left with nothing to neither eat nor drink since the Tortoise had intentionally broken the covenant.
The birds got angry and decided that “enough is enough”. Nearly every bird plucked off his/her feather from the tortoise, leaving him with just a few from his closest friends, which were not enough to enable him to fly back home.
The Tortoise sent a friendly bird with a message to his wife back on earth, asking her to prepare for him a mattress to land on. However, the bird changed the message and instead of preparing a mattress as requested, she laid on the ground sharp stones, broken glasses and sharp metals. The Tortoise was told all was well and could now jump down. The landing was horrible and he broke into pieces. Situational analysis The challenges tearing Kenya apart include the tendency to manipulate ethnic identities for what can be termed as “private political” interests.
10 Tribalism, Clannism and Politics
According to A. Tarimo, for us to appreciate the root causes of the prevailing ethno-political competition, discrimination and violence, we need to ask the following questions. How is ethnic identity related to the conflict of loyalties and interests? How have the dynamics of ethnic identities fashioned the existing understanding of the common good and political life? Have Christian churches and other religions managed to stand above ethnocentrism and the tension it generates?1
In search for long-term solutions to these questions, the Church in this week of Lent is asking the people of good will, and in particular Catholic Christians, to focus on how issues of negative ethnicity tend to substitute equal citizenship among citizens in favour of the model of exclusion founded upon ethnic affiliation. At the same time, the Catholic Church is fully aware that the challenge of integrating cultural identities in the processes of political integration and democratisation is closely related to the problematic concepts of the nation-state, citizenship and the common good.
Like in the above story of the Tortoise and the many birds, Kenya is a multi-ethnic society, and various communities have lived in harmony for years. This has been possible because each and every community with its culture adds to what can be described as the Kenyan nation.
However, we have not been able to transit from being a country to a nation - a tightly-knit group of people who share a common national identity. It is the construction of a shared sense of identity and common destiny to overcome ethnic and/or religious differences and counter alternative allegiances. This goes beyond just sharing borders or identity cards and passports, but to embrace national values as espoused in Article 10 (2) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. These include:-
(a) Patriotism, national unity, sharing and devolution of power, the rule of law, democracy and participation of the people; (b) Human dignity, equity, social justice, inclusiveness, equality, human rights, non-discrimination and protection of the marginalised; (c) Good governance, integrity, transparency and accountability; and (d) Sustainable development.
1 Aquiline Tarimo, S.J.. Politicisation of Ethnic Identities and the Common Good in Kenya
11 Lenten Campaign 2015
Therefore, we need to be wary of ethnic mobilisations, which unscrupulous leaders can organise and exploit for narrow political interests, such as control of the state. Such mobilisations tend to pursue personal and narrow ethnic interests.
How then do we address this problem of negative ethnicity, tribalism and politicisation of ethnicity in Kenya? The challenge is not how to overcome ethnic identities, but how to integrate them into social relationships and political processes.
Efforts to promote democracy cannot succeed without taking into account the challenge of appropriating ethnic identities into the structure of nation- state. Any project, be it political, economic or religious, which involves the mobilisation of people must consider the cultural contexts in which individuals live, rather than those in which someone may think they ought to be living. The process of building democratic institutions will succeed insofar as it starts with what people are and from where they are.
We must celebrate our ethnicity by accepting others and knowing that everybody in the world belongs to an ethnic group. We must shun negative ethnicity and ethnocentrism. We must embrace meritocracy where we shall look at an individual’s contribution rather than what ethnic group or political divide one comes from. Readings Genesis 9:8-15 1 Peter 3:18- 22 Mark 1:12-15 Today’s readings remind us that God has made a covenant with us. Our country is the new Ark where God has promised to remove us from all evil. He did this by sending His Son who made us sons and daughters of God. The call today is to repent the many times we have used our ethnicity to discriminate others instead of enjoying our diversity and the unity we have been called to. We must resist the temptation of thinking that we are better than others.
What practical ways can we apply Christ’s teaching to fight negative ethnicity?

14 Week 2
Security
See goma is a cosmopolitan village in Ubuntu County. The villagers lived together peacefully for many years, supporting and respecting each other. They traded together, intermarried Nand their children went to the same schools. A council of elders with a paramount chief, as its leader, headed the village. The council had clear problem solving mechanisms whenever need arose. There was tranquillity and enough food for everybody in the village.
As the years went by, cracks started emerging in the council among the elders. The once admirably united council was divided along interest groups and clan lines. Attempts by the paramount chief to reconcile and reunite the elders failed.
Sadly, the divisions gave rise to hatred among the people of Ngoma village, with the elders using this as an opportunity to pursue parochial personal interests and greed for power. Eventually, the paramount chief was killed in the ensuing leadership wrangles, resulting in sub-clan fighting among the villagers.
With the breakdown of law and order in Ngoma, the village witnessed an increase in crimes and cases of insecurity. It was a shocking reality one night when they woke up to the brutal and traumatising killing of 20 people and maiming of 200 others. The situation was worsened by retaliatory killings and displacements of some Ngoma villagers. Helpless women were mourning their slain beloved husbands and lamenting the fate of their children.
In this state of division, the village was under attack by its enemies. It became difficult for villagers to protect themselves from external attacks and security deteriorated by the day.
Following the external attacks, some of the sober village elders held a consultative meeting to establish the cause of the insecurity. To their amazement, they realised that there were many deep-seated reasons
15 Lenten Campaign 2015 behind the aggression and the killings were meant to satisfy the interests of few individuals.
Situational analysis
Human security is necessary for national, regional and global stability. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), human security is equated to economic security, which means assured basic income for individuals; food security that all people at all times have both physical and economic access to basic food; health security which aims to guarantee a minimum protection from diseases and unhealthy lifestyles; environmental security which aims to protect people from the short and long term ravages of nature, man-made threats in nature, and deterioration of the natural environment; personal security which aims to protect people from physical violence, whether from the state or external states, from violent individuals and sub-state actors, from domestic abuse, or from predatory adults; community security which aims to protect people from the loss of traditional relationships and values, and from sectarian and ethnic violence; and political security which is concerned with whether people live in a society that honours their basic human rights. Human security not only protects, but also empowers people and societies as a means of security. People contribute by identifying and implementing solutions to insecurity. Human security forms an important part of people’s wellbeing, and is therefore an objective of development. Lack of human security has adverse consequences on economic growth and therefore development. All this leads to fundamentals of human dignity.
Human security seeks to address underlying causes and long-term implications of conflicts instead of simply reacting to problems.
It can be defined as freedom from want, freedom from fear and food security. If the freedoms referred to are not achieved, a state can be described as insecure. This argument affirms the Catholic Social Teaching that the foundation and organisation of any human society ought to be centred on the dignity of every human life.
In a state of insecurity, life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. Of all the political duties of a state, none is more fundamental than security.
The Constitution mandates the National Government to take care of security. The National Police Service, the Kenya Defence Forces and the National Intelligence Service have the responsibility to protect Kenya and
16 Security
Kenyans, their rights, freedoms, property, peace, stability and prosperity (Articles 238, 239 and 340 of the Constitution).
The National Government also has the responsibility of enforcing the Bill of Rights; protect the environment and natural resources, consumer protection and labour standards, among others. The Constitution of Kenya has expanded the scope of security to include seven threats of security, which include economic security, food security, health security, environmental security, personal security, community security and political security. These are the key pillars of human security and key components of Kenya’s Vision 2030.
Despite this broad legal framework on security, criminal violence in Kenya is growing. The Westgate attack by terrorists in which at least 67 people perished, is still fresh in the minds of Kenyans. The most recent killings were in the Kapedo area at the border of Turkana and Baringo counties where more than 20 security officers perished. There were previous killings in Lamu, Mpeketoni and other parts of the county. Sporadic raids, which at times result in loss of lives, are becoming common in parts of Kenya. There have been cases of police officers being shot dead, especially in Mombasa. Restlessness in the country, increased insecurity and growing violence has become a great challenge to the security apparatus.
We need concerted effort from all stakeholders to address insecurity. Every initiative that has been proposed by different actors should be embraced. There is nobody who can say that he or she can solve the problem of human insecurity alone.
For meaningful development and to achieve the Vision 2030 goals, there is an urgent need for unity, respect for and recognition for all citizens. Therefore, unless Kenyans change their negative attitudes, political ideologies, patronage, end corruption and start appreciating ourselves as Kenyans and people who are created in the likeness of God, we will continue witnessing situations similar to those afflicting Ngoma village.
Time has come for Kenyans to change for the common good and shun greed, hatred and bad politics by embracing national unity as stated in the third stanza of our National Anthem:
Let all in one accord In common bond united Build this our nation together

We must see the love of God who gave his only Son to die for us. The transfiguration reminds us that we have been chosen and nothing can separate us from Christ. We must depend on Christ as our security and our life. If the Lord does not build a house in vain does its builder build?
As Christians, have we done what is right to bring about security or have we feared our politicians?

Family and Social Morality
See n the capital city of Maweni, there lived a very wealthy family. Husband, wife and their two children — a daughter and a son — operated many large shops, rental flats and buses that served the Iarea and other neighbouring countries.
The family’s two children studied at a prestigious school where they were always transported to and from in a luxurious bus. Husband and wife employed many servants at their home to care for their daughter and son as most of the time they were out of the country on business trips and, therefore, did not have enough time to bring up their children, including imparting important social and religious values.
As time went by, the children’s behaviour started to deteriorate. They stopped going to school and instead spent all their time on expensive leisure time activities and entertainment. The boy started using drugs and was ultimately recruited into an outlawed gang. The girl moved from one entertainment joint to the other, spent nights away from home and engaged in promiscuous activities.
The family’s lifestyle continued to take a toll on the children but the parents were too busy to notice the deteriorating situation. Five years on, the boy tested HIV positive. The sister at one time nearly died while procuring an abortion. Since their parents could afford it, they took the children to several prestigious and expensive hospitals abroad for treatment and rehabilitation.
In the meantime, the parents pointed accusing fingers at each other for the children’s problems. Constant fighting and arguments between husband and wife became commonplace. Some of their neighbours tried to intervene but this bore no fruit. A priest was invited to talk to the couple. As a true servant of God, guided by the Holy Spirit, the priest managed to reconcile the couple. The family began a new phase in their lives, started going to church and joined church groups. The couple recognised that they had a joint responsibility to guide and care for their children despite all that had happened.
20 Family and Social Morality
Situational analysis The human person is not only sacred but also social. How we organise our society — in economics and politics, in law and policy — directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in a community.
Marriage and the family are central social institutions that must be supported and strengthened, not undermined. As the smallest social unit in society, the family’s protection and strengthening is essential to the flourishing of larger social units.
The Church has identified the crisis of faith and family life, critical situations within the family and external pressure on the family as some of the key pastoral challenges of the family.
The crisis of faith and family life can be an opportunity for growth and a means of strengthening the marriage bond with a supportive parish and Church. Pope Francis recommends that: “Families, willing to offer support to a couple in this difficult situation, can help them overcome this crisis. In particular, the parish must draw near married couples and the family as the “family of families”.
On critical situations within the family, the universal Church identified difficulty in relationships and communication; the break up and breakdown of families; violence and abuse; and lastly, dependence, the media and the social network. There are growing tensions and conflicts in marriage for lack of mutual trust and intimacy, the domination of one marriage partner over the other or the inter-generational conflict between parents and children. Other critical situations include single parenthood, homosexual unions and the widespread practice of abortion. Laws like the Marriage Act, 2014, Matrimonial Property Act, 2013, and the Reproductive Health Bill, 2014, are threats to marriage and families in many ways. They raise the question of whether the Government is adequately protecting the family.
The Church is concerned with the many cases of psychological, physical and sexual violence and abuse in families, which have a particular damaging effect on women and children. Sexual promiscuity and incest in the family as well as paedophilia and child abuse abound. Lack of care and attention to children has led to a growing dependence on media and social networks as the alternative source of socialisation and means of communication, negatively affecting the family with mistaken and misleading values.
21 Lenten Campaign 2015
External pressures on the family include the impact of work on the wellbeing of the family. The hectic, fast and exhausting pace of work hinders the possibility of a family spending time together. Increasing job insecurity, rising unemployment and the need to travel greater distances to work, have taken their toll on family life; causing fragile endurance of emotional relationships, deep discomfort and instability in family life. Other challenges on the families include the weight of societal expectation on the individual, wars, particularly in Africa, and diseases.
Pope John Paul II in his teaching about family stresses that every child born to a family is a gift and a benefit not only to his or her mother, father, brothers or sisters, but also to the entire community into which he or she is born. The family is the temple where the flame of life is transmitted. It is a temple dedicated to the Lord of Life. The family is naturally ordered to serve what Pope John Paul II has called the Evangelium vitae, meaning the Gospel of Life.
Throughout the centuries, the Church has maintained her constant teaching on marriage and family. One of the highest expressions of this teaching was proposed by the Second Vatican Council, in the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, which devotes an entire chapter to promoting the dignity of marriage and the family.
Pope Paul VI, in his Encyclical Humanae Vitae, displayed the intimate bond between conjugal love and the generation of life. He called the family the “way of the Church,” and proposed the basic guidelines for the pastoral care of the family and the presence of the family in society.
Pope Benedict XVI, in his encyclical Deus Caritas Est, emphasised: “Marriage based on an exclusive and definitive love becomes the icon of the relationship between God and his people and vice versa. God’s way of loving becomes the measure of human love.”
On family and faith, Pope Francis, in his encyclical Lumen Fidei, writes: “Faith is no refuge for the fainthearted, but something which enhances our lives. It makes us aware of a magnificent calling, the vocation of love. It assures us that this love is trustworthy and worth embracing, for it is based on God’s faithfulness which is stronger than our every weakness” (LF, 53).
22 Family and Social Morality
Readings Exodus 20:1-17 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 John 2:13-25 The Commandments are there to guide us into living a moral and loving life. Today, more than ever, we are being bombarded by ideologies that want to do away with morality from the society. For us Christians, we proclaim the crucified Christ. We must resist the temptations of the world that dilute the teaching of the Church on morality. We must always return to God’s house where we shall have a true worship in truth and spirit. We must expel those who bring false teachings that are opposed to Christ.
How can we reinstate morality in our homes and communities?

24 Rights of the Minority and the Marginalised Groups
25 Week 4
Rights of the Minority and the Marginalised Groups See n the village of Tomboti in Kanroi County, lived a physically challenged young man, Nyagwata. Though considered a member of the minority, his parents and the community invested in his Ieducation and enhanced his intellectual potential. He did very well in his studies and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Community Development. After his studies, he volunteered as an administrator with a local community- based organisation, which he steered to great heights of prosperity to be ranked the best in the county in providing essential services like education for disadvantaged children. The County Government advertised for the position of a sub-county administrator. Nyagwata, full of optimism and confidence from serving his community, applied for the position. He was shortlisted and invited for an interview by his County Public Service Board. Others set to be interviewed included a middle-aged man who looked rather casual, a lady teacher from the community and other young men and women. While waiting to be called by the interviewing panel, the middle-aged man asked Nyagwata: “How connected are you?” Perturbed by the question, Nyagwata inquired: “Which connection?” “I mean do you have your people inside?” “No, but I have been invited for the interview,” Nyagwata responded. “Ooh poor young man … this for sure with your disability … you cannot get it … you need connections,” the man retorted. Annoyed with the discussion, Nyagwata told the man: “Stop there! I know my constitutional rights, I am educated and I have all what it takes to get this position. My disability is not inability.” As they were talking, one of the panellists came out of the interview room and beckoned the man who was talking to Nyagwata. They stood aside and
26 Rights of the Minority and the Marginalised Groups talked for a few minutes before the panellist returned inside. To the surprise of the people of Konroi, the man who had no experience and little education was declared the sub-county administrator. Their concern was how that decision was arrived at, because according to their findings, the man was the chief political campaigner of the ward representative. When Nyagwata and his fellow applicants consulted on the outcome of the interview, they were informed by the County Public Service Board that they had not qualified because they did not have the experience and Nyagwata was physically challenged and could, therefore, not effectively undertake the difficult duty he would be exposed to. When they requested to be furnished with the academic qualifications of the casual man, they were told that the information they were seeking was not for public consumption, it wasn’t their right to know and were chased away from the county office premises. Situational analysis According to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability, about 10 per cent of the world’s population, or 650 million people, live with a disability. They are the world’s largest minority. Eighty per cent of persons with disabilities live in developing countries. Ninety per cent of children with disabilities in developing countries do not attend school (UNESCO). An estimated 386 million of the world’s working-age people are disabled (ILO). Unemployment among the disabled is as high as 80 per cent in some countries. Often, employers assume that persons with disabilities cannot work.
In Kenya, some parents with disabled children see them as a burden or a curse, locking them up in private rooms to hide them from the society. This could be as a result of cultural or religious views, discrimination by the community or the need for the parents, who are sometimes single, to leave the children behind and find jobs.
Some individuals have turned disabled persons into tools of trade to earn money from, especially in Nairobi and other major towns. Persons with disability are placed in strategic places every morning to collect alms, only to be picked up in the evening with the day’s collection going to their ‘employers’.
Unemployment in Kenya is on the rise and young people with disabilities
27 Lenten Campaign 2015 have to compete for the same jobs — mainly manual, requiring physical strength and high sensory capacity — with able-bodied unemployed youths, leaving them disadvantaged. A recent tracer study on transition to the job market for persons with orthopaedic disabilities identified lack of sensitivity by employers, and constricted contacts and networks to facilitate employability as key hindrances to getting a job. The Persons with Disabilities Act, 2004 in addition to stipulating enhanced access of persons with disabilities to job markets, provides a range of incentives to employers for hiring people with disabilities, which include tax concessions. The Act also ensures that both public and private sectors reserve five per cent of jobs (casual, emergency and contractual) for persons with disabilities. The law, however, lacks an implementation and monitoring framework, and has made minimal impact over the years. Labour law reforms undertaken in Kenya have not had much to do with employment of persons with disabilities and had instead openly neglected them. Public transport is not friendly to persons with disabilities and neither are most buildings, especially high-rise ones in many urban areas. Parking slots set aside for persons with disability in major towns are hardly ever respected.
In the Bill of Rights, the Constitution has strongly focused on equity issues, targeting discrimination faced by various marginalised groups, including persons with disabilities, senior citizens and small ethnic communities. All forms of discrimination on the grounds of disability are prohibited.
The Catholic Social Teaching as well as the UN declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons (1975) are in agreement that the disabled persons have the inherent right to respect for their human dignity. They have the same fundamental rights as their fellow-citizens of the same age, which implies first and foremost the right to enjoy a decent life, as normal and full as possible.
Readings 2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23 Ephesians 2:4-10 John 3:14-21
28 Rights of the Minority and the Marginalised Groups
Whenever we discriminate against each other, we alienate ourselves from the family of God. God so loved the world that He gave us his only Son so that we might become brothers and sisters and children of God. This He has done through the richness of his mercy and saved us by grace. We are expected to uphold the dignity of every human being.
Are we respecting people because they too have equal rights like us?

30 Devolved Governments and Management of Resources
31 Week 5
Devolved Governments and Management of Resources
See he Maporo County had a centralised system of governance, with all Tdecision-making powers vested in the Governor. The people of Maporo one day decided to change the centralised system of leadership and created five sub-counties to ensure good representation and equitable distribution of resources. In doing so, they expected better services and a chance to develop their own regions. They agreed on a system of collecting centrally the tax, which would be shared equitably among the central Maporo County and its five sub-counties. In addition, each sub- county had a responsibility of generating its own revenue to ensure that services were provided to the people. The Maporo County Council of Elders agreed on how to share the centrally collected tax. The five sub-counties were to get at least 25 per cent of the shared funds based on equitability and functions that the units were to perform.
After electing their representatives, each sub-county was given resources. The people of Maporo County expected to see and feel the changes, especially in the provision of social services such as health, agriculture and pre- primary education, improved rural roads and environment management.
While some sub-counties recorded good performance in collecting revenue, most of them were unable to account for the use of the resources entrusted to them. The leaders engaged in power struggles. Some sub-counties were unable to offer essential services like health and education. There were rumours that most of the leaders misused the resources allocated to them. To monitor spending of public funds in each sub-county, the people of Maporo organised citizens’ groups. Provision of services improved, as a result, and everybody was happy. Situational analysis Kenya has the largest, most diversified and innovative economy in East Africa. The country has potential to reduce poverty and increase job opportunities not only to its citizenry but also to other countries within
32 Devolved Governments and Management of Resources the region and beyond. Kenya has made significant strides in improving the overall economic environment and has prioritised, amongst others, governance and public finance management reforms to enhance transparency, accountability, service delivery and cost efficiency.
With the devolved system of governance as espoused in the Constitution, the 47 county governments have additional fiscal responsibility and functions, which include agriculture, health services, trade development and regulation, county planning and development; pre-primary education, village polytechnics, home craft centres and child care facilities, implementation of specific national government policies on natural resources and environmental conservation; county public works and services, fire fighting services and disaster management, and control of drugs and pornography. All these devolved functions were to be followed by revenue allocation to the counties.
The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) recommends to the National Assembly the basis for equitable sharing of revenues raised nationally. Specifically, it decides how much revenue will be divided between the national and the county governments, and how much each county government would receive based on the most recent audited accounts of revenue received, as approved by the National Assembly. According to the Constitution (Articles 203 and 204) 84.5 per cent of the revenues will be allocated to the National Government, 15 per cent to county governments and 0.5 per cent is designated as an equalisation fund. This will be based on the most recent audited accounts of revenue received, as approved by the National Assembly.
The basis of revenue sharing is as follows:
33 Lenten Campaign 2015
Although the governors are demanding more funds for counties, the Auditor-General reveals that many of them cannot account for the use of hundreds of millions of shillings allocated to their counties, with large amounts used on questionable projects.
Up to 30 per cent of the National Government’s total budget in any financial year is wasted. In the 2011/2012 financial year, Kshs338 billion was unaccounted for. Lax internal controls and disregard for procurement rules have been cited as the major contributors to the excessive spending and misappropriation of state funds.
Some county governments are unable to provide essential services like health and pre-primary education. Public hospitals are struggling to provide life-saving medical services to a large and mostly poor population of patients, as the standoff between county governments and doctors over the devolution of health services continues in most regions. Are the county stewards entrusted with resources working to ensure service delivery for the people?
Leadership is critical and Kenyans need to exercise caution and serious scrutiny of the leaders they elect. The Social Teachings of the Church guide us to be Christian stewards. “As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10). What identifies a steward? Safeguarding materials and human resources and using them responsibly; generous giving of time, talent and treasure. But being a Christian steward means more. As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.
We are called, therefore, to be involved in county government activities, including budget-making, planning and others. Readings Jeremiah 31:31-34 Hebrews 5:7-9 John 12:20-33 “Deep within them I will plant my law, writing it on their hearts” (Jeremiah 31:33). This is the promise God gave us. The Constitution is the law that God has given us to guide us. It requires us to follow it so that we govern ourselves in the best possible way. We must learn like Christ to obey so that all might have life. Christ obeyed the civil authorities of his time. We
34 Rights of the Minority and the Marginalised Groups must die to selfishness so that we can bring life to others.
Can we obey as Christ our model did?
Act
1. As citizens, how has the scenario above been manifested in your local community? 2. What is the role of parents, community and the Church in forming youth into responsible leaders at all levels? 3. In your opinion, what are some of the measures that could be undertaken by the community and the Church to ensure efficient management of resources within their means? 4. What measures would the electorate undertake to ensure accountability among elected leaders? 5. Suggest ways in which Christians and Small Christian Communities can engage and actively participate to ensure effective management of resources from the family, Church, community, county and national level?

70 Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God
God, you granted your servant Mau- rice Michael Cardi- Onal Otunga the grace to be an exemplary pastor at the service of the Church, mak- ing him a symbol of humil- ity and love for the poor and less fortunate in the society, while denying and detach- ing himself from the pleas- ures of the world. Grant, we beseech thee, that we may also learn to respond faith- fully to the demands of the Christian vocation, converting all moments and circumstances of our life into opportunities of loving you and our neigh- bours with joy and kindness, and of serving the kingdom of God with hu- mility. We humbly request you to grant your servant, Cardinal Otunga, a share in the glory of heaven, which is promised to those who have served you well. Through his intercession, bless the Church, our country, our families and children, and grant us the favours we humbly request … (say your intentions). Through Christ, our Lord.
Amen

The Kenya National Anthem
“Oh God of all creation Bless this land and nation Jusice be ourshield and defender May we dwell in unity Peace and liberty Plenty be found within our borders.
Let one and all arise With hearts both strong and true Service be our earnest endeavour And our homeland of Kenya Heritage of splendour Firm may we stand to defend.
Let all with one accord In common bond united Build this our nation together And the glory of Kenya The fruit of our labour Fill every heart with thanksgiving.”
