The Catholic Church is concerned over continued spat between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto saying their public war-of-words could derail the quest for peace.
Through the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Church said it was important for the two to exercise restraint to ensure Kenyans followed their example as the August 9 General Election approached.
