Reuben Kigame: President Ruto is overdoing religion

by Enock Ndayala

Since he was sworn in as the fifth President on Tuesday, September 23, William Ruto has been hosting religious leaders at State House.

For instance, on Wednesday, September 14, William Ruto’s wife Rachael Ruto hosted Prophet Ian Ndlovu of the Divine Kingdom Baptist Church based in Zimbabwe.

The First Lady further hosted Prophet Victor Kusi Boateng Kusi of the Power Chapel Worldwide Ghana just a day after hosting a meeting with Zabron Singers, the Tanzanian choir, famed for their popular song ‘Mkono wa Bwana.’

On Thursday, September 15, former presidential hopeful Reuben Kigame accused Kenya’s President William Ruto of overlying on religion.

“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, the presidency must observe Article 27 of the constitution,” Kigame said in a Tweet.

The gospel singer said issues such as the cost of living will not be addressed by prayers alone.

“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. It should congratulate the king but also be prepared to tell the king that he is naked should he be,” he added.

Last month, Kigame while congratulating William Ruto for winning the presidential race dismissed claims raised by most people that William Ruto’s leadership means that the country will have godly leadership.

“It is the misleading assumption that William Ruto’s qualification to become president-elect is synonymous with the beginning of godly leadership in Kenya. What is even sadder is the assumption that those in different political formations are thereby non-Christians altogether,” he said.
