Thursday, March 6, 2025 - Flamboyant city preacher, Pastor Edward Mwai, has revealed that he and his wife have been bombarded with abusive messages following President William Ruto’s Ksh 120 million pledge to his church, forcing them to acquire new mobile lines.
During a visit to Mwai’s church last weekend, President Ruto
announced a series of contributions, including the allocation of a contested
20-acre parcel of land owned by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in Roysambu to
the ministry.
Ruto also pledged a personal donation of Ksh 20 million and
vowed to raise an additional Ksh 100 million for the construction of a mega
church.
"Since I am the Commander-in-Chief, I told KDF that
this land is a holy place, and the church will be built there," Ruto
declared.
Mwai, however, clarified that no funds had been received
from the Head of State.
"For the record, President Ruto never left any money
behind. I consider what he promised as any other pledge - one that you must
follow up on to be fulfilled," he stated.
The pastor further asserted that he does not personally
handle church tithes or offerings, emphasizing that no board member had
received any money from the President.
He challenged critics to review footage of the service for
verification.
Meanwhile, Gen Z activists have launched the hashtag
#OccupyJesusWinner, mobilizing for a protest at the church on March 9.
The move comes amid growing public opposition to hefty
political donations to religious institutions, with many questioning their
sources.
The Catholic Church has also taken a firm stance, recently
rejecting Ruto’s Ksh 5.8 million donation to St. Anna and Joakim Parish in
Soweto, Nairobi, citing concerns over the legitimacy of the funds.
