Renowned gospel singer and politician Reuben Kigame has made an impassioned call for justice and righteousness to be the cornerstone of national development, urging leaders and citizens alike to ensure that fairness prevails across all sectors of society.
In his latest statement, Kigame quoted the powerful words of the prophet Amos from the Bible, saying, "But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." He emphasized that no family, business, or nation can truly succeed without upholding justice.
“The cry for justice is not just a political issue; it is a moral and spiritual one," Kigame said during a press conference at his Nairobi office. "Injustice destroys the very fabric of society and offends the heart of God. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that justice flows freely for all people—regardless of their status, background, or resources."
Drawing on his experience as both a gospel artist and a political figure, Kigame pointed to the widespread effects of corruption, inequality, and social injustice, which continue to plague many parts of the world, including Kenya. He stressed that addressing these issues is essential for building a fair and prosperous nation where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive.
The gospel artist-turned-politician, known for his advocacy on social justice and unity, further highlighted that a nation founded on justice would naturally lead to stronger businesses, healthier families, and better governance. “When justice is at the heart of everything we do, righteousness follows," he added. "It is only then that we will witness true peace, prosperity, and unity among our people.”
Kigame’s comments come at a time when Kenya is grappling with growing concerns over corruption, human rights violations, and economic inequality. His call for a justice-centered society resonates with many who are advocating for systemic reforms to combat corruption and protect the rights of vulnerable groups.
As part of his political platform, Reuben Kigame has consistently championed policies that promote transparency, inclusivity, and fairness. He urged government leaders to lead by example, demonstrating integrity in all their dealings and ensuring that laws are applied equally to all citizens.
His call for justice is also a plea to the Church, civil society, and every individual to actively engage in the process of building a just society. "We must all be agents of change, ensuring that righteousness flows through our communities, our workplaces, and our government institutions," Kigame concluded.
