President Ruto contemplates sending missionaries in North Rift region to talk to bandits over the increasing insecurity.
Speaking during the re-election and installation of the moderator of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA), Patrick Thegu Mutahi, Ruto said the banditry menace in North Rift could be solved through spiritual intervention.
The Head of State claimed that the insecurity problem had been escalating because inhabitants of the affected areas lack spiritual knowledge.
”We still need money for evangelism, kuna watu hawajafikiwa na neno la Mungu. Even the banditry problems in West Pokot, the biggest challenge is spiritual warfare,” Ruto said.
In addition, President Ruto asked the PCEA church to send more evangelists to the remote areas of Kenya that need spiritual nourishment.
