President William Ruto has defended his continued donations to churches in the country.
Speaking during a church service at AIC Kipkorgot in Eldoret on Sunday, Ruto said nobody can ever get it wrong when they are givers to God.
He said he is a living testimony of what God can do in one's life when they give to church.
This is even as he donated Sh5 million for the Sunday school at the church.
"For those of you who may not know, I can give you free advice; you will never go wrong by giving to God and if you want evidence look at me, I am a living testimony of a person who never went wrong for giving to God," the President said.
"I am a product of giving and I am very proud and I have no apology to make, I have no regret whatsoever for giving to God because God gives back in equal measure," he added.
in November, Catholic Bishops rejected the President’s donation of Sh5.8 million.
Metropolitan Archbishop Philip Anyolo, in a statement on November 19, said funds already received would be returned.
President Ruto had donated Sh600,000 to the choir and Sh2 million for the construction of the Father’s House, along with a promise of an additional Sh3 million and a parish bus.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, on his part, contributed Sh200,000.
"Politicians are most welcome to attend Church for their spiritual nourishment, but they are encouraged to do so as ordinary Christians, without leveraging their political gain,” Anyolo said.
The Bishop stressed the importance of maintaining the Church's neutrality to serve as a place for spiritual growth and community support, free from political influence.
