Ruto: We Look Forward to the Day We Will Take Billions to Church

Deputy President William Ruto says he is not ashamed of his faith and will continue donating money to churches.

Ruto, who spoke at New Breed City Chapel in Kiambu on Sunday, declared that nothing will stop him from supporting the church.

He observed that some of his critics appear to have a problem with how he worships, adding that he is looking forward to the day he will be able to donate billions to the church.

"We are unashamed of our faith in God. Some people have a problem with how we worship, about how often we go to church, others have accused us of carrying money in sacks to the church but we will not stop," Ruto affirmed.

He added: "We are looking forward to the day when we will not be taking thousands, when we will not be taking millions but when we will be taking billions to church."

Ruto appeared to be responding to ODM leader Raila Odinga, who last week claimed that the millions of shillings donated to churches and various groups are taxpayers’ money acquired fraudulently.

“Pesa ambayo amebeba mamilioni ametoa wapi? Wezi ambao wanatakikana kuwa Shimo la Tewa wanatembea na mahelicopter kila mahali wakitoa pesa kila upande, hiyo ni taifa gani? Kanisa imefunguliwa amekuja na magunia ya pesa,” said Odinga.
