Prepare Successors to Sustain Schools, Hospitals and Dioceses, Kenyan Catholic Bishop Urges

Bishop Mark Kadima Wamukoya of the Diocese of Bungoma urged leaders to train successors to ensure the stability of institutions and communities. During a homily at St. Pius X Bwaliro Parish on Wednesday, October 28, the bishop stated that schools, hospitals, and dioceses should not collapse when a leader departs.

Bishop Kadima told the faithful that leaders should follow the example of Jesus by preparing disciples to carry on his mission. He said a good legacy allows beneficial work to continue even after a person dies.

The bishop cautioned against exhausting resources or denying opportunities to younger generations. He specifically mentioned the importance of not selling all available land, cutting down all trees, or preventing children from receiving an education. He encouraged those in authority to share responsibilities to ensure the work they started remains sustainable.
