Religious leaders under the Church and Clergy Association of Kenya (CCAK) have asked President William Ruto to make his stand on same-sex unions known.
The leaders said it was time the President made a public pronouncement on his take on the matter, otherwise, the country's morality is at risk.
Addressing the press in Nairobi on Tuesday, CCAK national chairman Hudson Ndeda issued the statement borrowing from the story of Queen Esther and Mordecai in the Bible.
The Esther story takes place at a time when Jews were at risk of being decimated by the King's man Haman and Mordecai persuaded Queen Esther, a Jew, to save her people.
Esther 4:14 reads "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?"
Ndeda asked Ruto to take his position as the head of the nation and speak on the issue of the lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community.
"We remind you like Mordecai to Esther that this is not the time to keep quiet. If you will not do anything about this matter for the sake of the Youths that supported and voted for you, then we are staring at a rotten society," he said.
Ndeda said it was the responsibility of the church to "blow the trumpet" when societal ills and injustices are left unchecked.
CCAK's statement comes days after church leaders allied to the East African Christian Alliance (EACA) discouraged the government from legalising same-sex relationships and marriages.
They said the government should not register organisations and associations supporting LGBTQ+ orientation.
Speaking on Sunday, EACA chairman, Bishop Richard Kivai said this is one way of killing generations, as there would be no recreation when a man marries a man or a woman marries a woman.
"God created a man and a woman to live together and replenish the earth’s human population through reproduction which cannot happen in same-sex marriages," he added.
The Supreme Court allowed the registration of LGBTQ associations in February, causing an uproar in the country that has not yet settled.
Shortly after the ruling, President Ruto said unions could be done anywhere else but in the country.
"I am God fearing and although we respect the ruling made by the Supreme Court, we have our culture and traditions. We cannot do down that route," he said.
"It can happen elsewhere but not in Kenya."
As the battle to have the ruling overturned continues, the President has not spoken of the LGBTQ movement lately.
