President Ruto to oversee AIPCA church completion through contribution despite a state ban on harambees.
President William Ruto on Sunday committed to avail the necessary funds required to complete the construction of the AIPCA church in Ndogino, Nyandarua County which is partly done.
Ruto stated that even though he banned State Officers from fundraisings, he would participate in the building of the church.
“There are some people who have really pushed us not to do harambees in church, we have been questioning how the church will be built,” stated Ruto.
Ruto also requested for DP Gachagua to consult with the church leaders and for accounts to be audited to determine the balance which he would clear by writing the church a cheque.
“I see that you have pushed the building of this church, the part that is yet to be completed I will cater to it,” stated Ruto.
“Gachagua organise with the Priest, account for how much it will be and I will write you a cheque,” he noted.
In his address, the President further added that the ball was in Kenyans’ courts in terms of deciding on the way forward of politicians’ conduct in church.
This he said ahead of the public participation to be held for the Public Fundraising Appeals Bill which was announced on July 11.

According to Ruto, the electorate would decide on what they believed was ideal for their leaders to do.
However, Ruto stated that he agreed with the proposal to regulate the conduct of politicians and avoid the Church from being a conduit of wealth amassed in corruption dealings.
Ironically, this donation comes after he banned all state officers including those serving as officers in commissions such as the Parliamentary, Judicial, and Teachers Service Commissions from participating in harambees.
“In that regard, and conscious of the duty to ensure that the spirit of Harambee continues to propel its noble ideals while addressing concerns on accountability and ethical conduct within the public service,” Ruto stated.
