With the next elections drawing closer, they believe that the future of the nation will be shaped mainly by the youth, who form the largest voting bloc.
Speaking during a prayer service in Nairobi, several bishops and pastors said young people should not allow their frustrations to push them away from politics.
Instead, they encouraged them to use the ballot as a tool to demand better leadership.
They noted that most complaints raised in churches and communities—such as joblessness, poor services, and high cost of living—can only be solved by leaders who are chosen through the vote.
According to the clerics, failure by the youth to participate gives room for the same cycle of poor governance to continue.
They reminded young people that numbers matter in an election, and a united youth vote can set the tone for the next government.
Apart from calling on the youth to register in large numbers, the church leaders also spoke about peace.
They said young voters must not be used by politicians to cause chaos during campaigns.
Instead, they should reject handouts, stand against division, and vote with a clear mind.
“Do not sell your future for a small token,” one church leader warned.
The leaders further asked the government and the electoral body to make the registration process easier for young people.
They said many youths are willing to take part, but some lack IDs or face long delays in registration centers.
They urged the authorities to move with speed so that no young person is locked out.
On social media, several youth groups welcomed the call from the church, saying they were ready to turn out in large numbers.
They expressed hope that their involvement would bring change and ensure leaders respect the needs of the younger generation.
