“You have told me that you need a State Lodge here,” Ruto began. “But I have been wondering how it would be here in Mosiro. Having considered that it is not possible, I have decided that I will, on the requests made for the construction of a pastor’s plaza here in Mosiro,” he declared.
“Because we cannot have a State lodge here, we will build that plaza for pastors. I will look for Ksh10 million to embark on the construction,” he promised. “That will be for you to build that plaza, and if you get stuck midway, I will send these friends of mine to come help you.
On March 2, President Ruto caused another uproar after pledging Ksh20 million to Jesus Winner Ministries in Roysambu. The backlash was swift. Just days later, the church was forced to clear the air.
Speaking to the press on March 6, Jesus Winner’s secretary, Raphael Mweti, insisted that the president had not yet given any money. He clarified, “The funds were a pledge, not a donation. Bishop Edward Mwai simply shared our vision for a larger church structure, and the president responded with a pledge.”

“We want Harambee to retain its noble ideals while ensuring transparency within public service,” the memo read.
However, many see the president’s recent actions as contradicting his own policy. While the ban sought to limit donations by public officials, Ruto continues to commit millions to religious causes—fueling further skepticism.
