President William Ruto has continued his commitment to support evangelical work in the country.
Speaking in Narok County on Sunday, the Head of State responded to preachers’ request for a ‘sign of State House’ in Narok.
Ruto, who has been under scrutiny for huge donations made to the church, pledged Ksh.10 million to construct a Pastors Plaza instead.
“There is a construction you want here…. Mosiro plaza for pastors. Because we can not construct a State Lodge, we will build the plaza for pastors. I will look for Ksh.10 million to kick off construction of the plaza. And if you get stuck… I will send my friends Senators…governors. There will be a sign of State Lodge,” Ruto said.
Despite backlash from public and his own censure on church harambees, the Head of State has maintained his commitment to offering financial support to religious institutions.
In Narok, Ruto also told off critics of the broad-based government, saying the unity government is best for Kenya.
“We are working hard to unite the people of Kenya. I am proud that Raila Odinga and I are working together to unite Kenyans. We are unapologetic, unashamed about uniting the people of Kenya,” he said.
The Head of State also expressed commitment in tackling corruption in the country, announcing that the government will soon move procurements on e-platforms to ensure transparency.
“The e-Procurement we have been waiting for years has started this April as I committed,” said Ruto.
