Deputy President William Ruto's philanthropic efforts have been marred by allegations of extortion, with several churches accusing him of stealing millions of shillings from their fundraisers.
According to sources, Ruto's 'donations' to churches have been a clever ruse to line his own pockets, with many church leaders and elders left torn and unable to speak out against the Deputy President's actions.
One such incident occurred in June 2019, when a fundraiser at the Kasuku PCEA in Ol Jororok, Nyandarua County raised Sh7 million. However, when the church banked the amount, they only received Sh3 million, with the remaining Sh4 million allegedly going straight into Ruto's hands.
Similar allegations have been made against Ruto at the All Saints Komothai Parish in Githunguri, Kiambu County, where out of Sh6 million raised, Sh3.5 million was pocketed by the Deputy President, leaving only Sh2.5 million for the church.
These incidents have raised questions about Ruto's true intentions, with many wondering why someone would steal in the name of the church. The Deputy President's actions have left a trail of deceit and greed, with many church leaders and elders left to pick up the pieces.
Published on June 20, 2020, this exposé sheds light on Ruto's alleged extortion racket, leaving many to wonder about the true state of his moral conviction.
