The Role of the Church in Democratization Process in Kenya

This article seeks to demonstrate the significant role religious society played during the fight for multiparty politics in Kenya. There are several questions which were raised with regard to the legitimacy of such an involvement. The research l carried out are based on public evidence, eye witnesses account, media report and above all the testimony of the very persons who were at the centre of this struggle. Key issues that l will be addressing include but not limited to the roles certain religious leaders played either directly or indirectly. I am also focusing on the very nature and characteristics of political equation in Kenya during this time. I am also going to demonstrate that one party system in Kenya was indeed an anathema that created powerful ruling elites in Kenya.
