Representatives drawn from Kenyan Churches Thursday met and held a first round of consultations with leaders of the Grand Coalition Government led by His Excellency President Mwai Kibaki, the Rt Hon. Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the Vice President Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka.
The meeting focused on the proposed constitution and the upcoming referendum later in the year.
It was agreed that a smaller committee of representatives from both the government and the churches be immediately established to look into the areas of concern raised by the churches in regard to the proposed constitution, for accommodation in subsequent legislation and amendments.
Today's meeting further agreed on the need for the Church and State to engage in further dialogue with a view to achieving consensus and establish a way forward on the contentious issues raised by the Church leaders.
The meeting committed to ensuring that the nation remains united during the entire constitutional review process until a new document is attained.
Both the Church leader's and the grand coalition government agreed on the need to drive ahead the country's reform agenda to enable the country focus on other challenges it currently faces.
Another meeting will be held next week.
