President William Ruto has urged for Unity in Kenya.
This was in relation to the storm which had escalated between the Church and the government.
The church had claimed that the leaders of Kenya were not doing their job to protect its citizens against abduction cases, disappearances and killings.

The head of State spoke in a church service on Sunday.
There is no need to exchange words…all these things. Calm down, there is no competition between the church and others or the church and State. We are one country.
The Head of the Republic said.
He added by saying that the country cannot prosper on division, we have to be united.
The church and the state must work together.
The President further said.
During the escalating feud between the church and the State, the Head of State later on attended a church service where he gave an amount of Ksh. 600,000 donation and pledged another Ksh. 2 million for the completion of the Parish priest’s residence.
Days later, the Archbishop of the Nairobi Archdiocese’s announced that the church would return the funds as its origin is unknown.
He also emphasized on the importance of preserving the church’s independence and sanctity as well as the ethical concerns surrounding political contributions.
