The engagement brought together Archbishop Philip Anyolo of Nairobi, Archbishop Maurice Muhatia of Kisumu, Archbishop Anthony Muheria of Nyeri, and Archbishop Dominic Kimengich of Mombasa.
In a post on his official X account, the President simply noted that he had “had an engagement” with the church leaders, accompanying the statement with photographs from the meeting.
The images show the Head of State in conversation with the prelates in a formal setting at State House.
The meeting comes at a time when the Catholic Church continues to play an influential role in Kenya’s social and public life.
The Archbishops represent major metropolitan sees and form part of the leadership of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Past engagements between the government and the Catholic hierarchy have often focused on collaboration in education, health, and matters of national cohesion.
No detailed joint communiqué was immediately released following the talks.
However, such high-level interactions are typically used to exchange views on issues of mutual concern and to reaffirm partnership between the State and the Church in serving Kenyans.
The Catholic Church remains one of the country’s largest providers of education and healthcare services through its extensive network of schools, hospitals, and community programmes.
Successive administrations have maintained dialogue with its leadership as part of broader efforts to strengthen governance and social stability.
Today’s meeting underscores the ongoing relationship between the Presidency and senior clergy as the nation navigates various development and social priorities.
Further details on the specific issues discussed may emerge in subsequent statements from either State House or the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops.
