Kinyanjui said the Gen Z-led protests against the Finance Bill would not have happened if the politicians heard what they were saying when they visited them in churches and even in other forums.
“During the bloody protests, the youths spoke loudly against the Finance Bill,” he said.
“We find it heartless, insensitive and disdainful for the MPs to have ignored the will of the people by passing the Finance Bill despite too much pressure from the people to drop it.”
Kinyanjui urged church leaders to pray for the country and follow their laid down guidelines.
He said if Parliament had refrained from passing the controversial Bill, there would have been no bloodshed and deaths.
He called upon the country to remember the youths who lost their lives in the protests in a seven-day mourning period.
The canon spoke while accompanied by Archbishop Timothy Ndambuki at Jumuiya Conference and Country Home at Kabuku in Limuru sub-county after the NCCK executive closed its two-day conference.
He also urged church leaders to listen to young people since they desire to see order not only in churches, but the entire country.
Youth leader, Sammy Njenga, said the leaders only use pulpit to mislead people and cannot be questioned since they will donate some huge amount of money to the church during the offerings.
“They should also not be invited in harambees in the villages” Njenga said.
