LOYOLA CENTRE FOR MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS
By Teresia Muia – LCMC
At a recent workshop in Hipsir, ecumenical leaders from Tangaza University confronted a growing tension that could stall the Church’s bold vision for shared leadership, namely the clash between tradition-bound elders and the freedom-seeking younger generation. As the Church strives to become a truly inclusive “Circular Church,” this generational fault line threatens to break apart the foundation of participation and unity the synod seeks to create.

The Loyola Centre for Media and Communications (LCMC) has continued to empower citizens of Malindi Diocese with practical knowledge on Kenya’s budgeting process, devolution, and the fight against corruption. In a training organized in partnership with the Catholic Diocese of Malindi, LCMC brought together clergy, religious, and members of the Catholic Justice and Peace Department (CJPD) to strengthen their role in holding leaders accountable.

Speaking at the forum, Rt. Rev. Willybard Lagho, Bishop of Malindi, issued a bold call for integrity in public life. “Corruption begins with you and me, so we must find ways of pricking the conscience of those who make decisions,” he said. The bishop further emphasized that while individuals must resist corrupt practices, the government has a duty to set up strong monitoring systems in procurement processes. He urged the Church and Catholic groups to ensure leaders are accountable to the people.
