Govt’s Lame Reason For Putting Off Again DP Ruto’s Murang’a Prayers


Deputy William Ruto 2022 presidential bid seems to be facing more critics than supporters.

For the second time now, his Murang’a interdenominational prayer rally scheduled to take place on Saturday has been called off “because of a warning by a weatherman”.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro told said that officers from the Meteorological Department warned the leaders that on Saturday, there will be freezing rain with liquid droplets, advising that holding such a mega rally would be inappropriate for both the deputy president and the congregation.

He said the leaders and the clergy will notify the public when the rally will be held.

“We have been cautioned by the Meteorological Department that we shall receive ice rain and it will not be advisable to hold the prayer rally. There is no politics behind the indefinite cancellation of the event and we shall keep the public posted on when to hold the rally,” Mr Nyoro said.

This is the second time the event has been postponed after it was put off on April 27 in what Dr Ruto’s handlers said was to allow him attend the burial of Jonathan Moi in Baringo.

Three Anglican bishops disowned the prayer rally and even accused the main organiser, Murang’a Bishop’s forum chairman Stephen Maina of the Full Time Winners Gospel Church, of disrespecting their spiritual head, Archbishop Jackson ole Sapit, over his remarks on politicians taking “dirty” money to the churches.

During the event that has now been put off again, the deputy president was also expected to launch a sacco owned by the priests form different churches in Murang’a and boost it with some money.

Some Murang’a MPs opposed to Dr Ruto said they were not aware of the rally as it was organised by his supporters.
