Abstract
In this work, the researcher looks at the general roles played by both the State
and the Church in their different mandates given to them by the Divine call for
service Leadership is a call to serve. It is indeed a duty of all Kenyans to
acknowledge the different roles and obligations given to the leaders in their domains
It is equally important to give respect to all these domains of responsibility by
according to them a conducive environment for execution of their work. The two
centres of power should not act as opposing factions but rather as two groups with the
same mission. The mission is service to the people of God. This work endeavours
to establish the development of democratisation process in Kenya from 1960- 2004
The climax and most important moment of change of governance was at the dawn of
multi-party politics in the early 1990s.
The government of the day has a responsibility towards its people The Church
also has a duty and responsibility to take care of the people's spiritual needs and other
needs as bestowed on it by Christ Jesus when He sent the Apostles and disciples to go
out and proclaim the Good-News to the whole world Christ had a clear mission to the
lepers (Mark 1:40-45), the ministry to the paralytic man (Mark 2:9:11), the
condemnation by Jesus of corrupt leaders and many radical changes on social
structures Jesus made a clear sign of participation of the Church in bringing about
good governance and a change in people's lives.
