President William Ruto has defended the controversial plan to build a church in the State House.
The Head of State clarified that he will personally fund the project, confirming that the church construction will proceed as an upgrade from a ‘mabati’ structure that already exists at State House.
“I am a Christian, and I have no apologies to make for building a church; the devil can get angry and do what he wants”, President William Ruto stated.
“When I came, I found a mabati church, does that befit State House? I am not using the government’s money; I am building with my money”, the Head of State clarified.
He further argued that a permanent, respectable church was in keeping with the dignity of the State House compound, promising that taxpayers would not contribute to the bill.
“I will take some time for prayer. I have decided to build a church befitting the State House, and it won’t cost the government a shilling”.
