The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has called on President William Ruto to engage Azimio leader Raila Odinga in a dialogue to resolve the standoff that led to Monday’s anti-government protests.

Led by Archbishop Martin Kivuva, the Conference's chairperson, the bishops also asked the President to address the high cost of living; a matter that protesters have been loud about, and for Raila to accept dialogue.
