“You Can’t Insult Us, Then Donate Millions,” Cleric Rebukes Ruto’s Hypocrisy in “Hollow” Donations
The ongoing debate between the church and state over financial contributions has intensified, even as President William Ruto insists there is no rivalry between the two.
A recent sermon by a Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) cleric highlighted the importance of discreet giving. The reverend commended former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for allegedly donating privately, avoiding public attention.
“Gachagua gave his offering, and we don’t even know if it was KSh 1 or KSh 100,000 because he gave it to God,” the preacher noted, emphasizing the act of giving rather than the amount.
The same sermon, however, featured sharp criticism of President Ruto. The cleric accused Ruto of hypocrisy, suggesting that the president had previously been critical of the church but later made donations seemingly to gain favor.
Highlighting the financial struggles of many church members, the preacher questioned the morality of large political donations. He argued that such contributions failed to address the pressing needs of the congregation.
“If someone brings KSh 5 million while 700 people in the church are starving, what good does that do? Wouldn’t it be better if they donated food instead? Then, after insulting us, you throw KSh 5 million our way and expect us to take it. Are we children?” he asked rhetorically.
The cleric emphasized that offerings should benefit those in need, urging leaders to focus on meaningful acts of charity rather than symbolic gestures.
