Former presidential aspirant Reuben Kigame has criticised President William Ruto’s government for what he termed as “overdoing religion.”
According to the gospel musician, the presidency should be guided by Article 27 of the constitution.
“I know I will be bashed but I need to be truthful and accountable to the nation. I think the Ruto administration is overdoing religion. While we acknowledge the hand of God in bringing us this far, presidency must observe Article 27 of the constitution,” he wrote in a tweet on Thursday.
Kigame noted that during Ruto’s inauguration ceremony on September 13, the evangelical wing of the church was over present, something he termed as “unnecessary”.
“I do not know what the transition committee intended to prove to Kenya and the watching world.”
He further added; “I hope that issues such as lowering food prices will not be met with State House saying, “let’s pray about it.“
The gospel musician said he believes in prayer, and that God has been instrumental in bringing the country this far.
“I strongly believe that the church should play a neutral, prophetic, balanced and truthful role in order to provide a true spiritual direction for the country,” Kigame stated.
No harm was done but ruto should know that when you give religious leader an inch they take a mile, some of the rituals they performed there could have been done later at statehouse. After all it is not a show but a prayer to God and now he is a president of all. He may think those guys mean well but some of those evangelical guys are like ‘this now is our govt and it is our time to eat’.

Mimi nilisema hata kabla watu waende kupiga kura nikaambiwa ya kwamba Kenya ni nchi ya wakristo.
Hili jambo la kushirikisha dini na serikali ni la kasumba.
