In July 2024, against the backdrop of youth-led anti-government protests, Dr Ruto banned church donations by state officials as he announced austerity measures to calm the nation.
The Head of State said he was aware of criticism and backlash from a section of Kenyans about his donations but vowed to carry on, adding that this far that he has reached is due to giving.
President William Ruto on Sunday continued with church donations despite issuing an order banning politicians and government officials from making cash contributions to harambees.
While attending the church at the Jesus Winner Ministry in Roysambu, Nairobi, President Ruto donated Sh20 million in cash as he vowed to ignore his critics.
