The main framework of The Catholic Justice and Peace Department (CJPD) is Civic Education in all matters pertaining to the growth of any society. Because of the violations of human rights, The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) by then Kenya Episcopal Conference (KEC) decided to start the commission in 1988, where those rights are to be channeled, taught and passed to people. The Commission was established in the Catholic Diocese of Murang\u2019a in the year 1992 which apart from teaching constitutional matters, also deals with Lenten Campaign.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0The commission therefore was established for evangelization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It focuses on fairness and justice for all which should be emulated in love of neighbor, protecting every \u00a0human person, human rights as well as their property, to give each person his\/her dues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
