Deputy President William Ruto’s habit of donating millions in the church has created him more enemies than friends including the church itself.
Citizen TV Journalist Yvonne Okwara has an advice for the deputy president if he would care to listen. Okwara advices Ruto to emulate former Attorney General Charles Njonjo’s church habits.
According to Okwara, Njonjo is the epitome of the respectful church faithful as he is often not under any pressure to impress anyone and that he always consults the church leaders in private.
“Listen, and I know Deputy President fired a tweet right after Archbishop Sapit (Jackson) made his statement… We are not talking about banning politicians from church, we are talking about banning politics.
“I want to give an anecdote because I know the person involved in this. Njonjo, the former attorney general, for years, has been going to the all saints cathedral, for their evening service. He doesn’t sit at the front, he sits at the back. He sits quietly, he prays, he worships, he leaves. If he has anything to say, he speaks with the vicar very privately,” stated the anchor.
He further condemned the leaders who make the donations in churches and proceed to brag about them explaining that the Christian faith is opposed against the practice.
“There is a problem, if you take a look at the Christian faith, that you are giving and you are making a big deal of it. Even in the bible, it says you have already received your reward here on earth,” he continued.
Ruto had earlier come under fire after he tweeted that politicians go to church and kneel before God and not fellow men which was seen as a response after Sapit had earlier asked all Anglican pastors not to accept offerings from politicians.
