Catholic Church Rejects President Ruto’s Ksh 5.6m Donation To Soweto Church, Vows To Do This To Him

The Catholic Church has recently made headlines by rejecting a Ksh 5.6 million donation from President William Ruto, which was intended for Soweto Church. 

This move has caused quite a stir, as the donation was expected to support the church's activities and development. 

However, the Church's leaders have firmly stated that they cannot accept the donation, choosing instead to refund the money to the President.

The reason for the rejection lies in the Church’s strong stand on maintaining moral integrity. 

Church officials explained that they would not accept donations from individuals whose sources of wealth are questionable. 

According to the Catholic Church, accepting donations from such individuals could send the wrong message to the faithful and the public. 

The Church has always aimed to keep its financial dealings transparent and in line with Christian values, especially when it comes to large sums of money.

In their statement, the Church leadership made it clear that they will return the Ksh 5.6 million donation to President Ruto. 

This is a clear indication that the Catholic Church prioritizes its ethical standards over financial contributions, no matter how generous they may seem. 

This decision has not only drawn attention within religious circles but has also sparked a wider discussion about the relationship between religion and politics in Kenya.

Supporters of the Church’s decision have praised the clergy for their stand on maintaining moral integrity, particularly when dealing with public figures and financial donations. 

On the other hand, critics argue that the Church's move could be seen as a political statement, especially considering the current political climate in Kenya. 

Some believe the rejection may have been influenced by President Ruto’s political stance and his administration's approach to various issues, including corruption.
