Tuesday, July 2, 2024 - President William Ruto has once again lied to Kenyans after he said he is the one who ordered church leaders not to allow politicians at the altar.
Speaking during a roundtable interview
with media houses on Sunday, Ruto said he urged church leaders to stop
politicians from using the church pulpit or any place of worship to advance
their agendas.
"It is not right, and I agree we need to change that culture," he said.
He also hinted at a plan to end the tradition of
conducting fundraisers (Harambee) in churches.
He argued that harambees initially started as a charitable
practice to help people raise funds for purposes such as school fees and medical
expenses, but that has since changed.
He asserted that politicians engaging in church fundraisers
are contributing to fostering corruption in the country.
"It has stretched too far and I think as a country, it
has come to a time when we must stop harambees because it is breeding
corruption." He said.
What Ruto didn’t tell Kenyans is that it is Gen Z that urged church
leaders not to allow politicians near the altar.
