President Ruto Breaks Silence, Responds To Catholic Bishops
President William Ruto has responded to the Catholic bishops following their controversial statement on Thursday.
Speaking during the graduation ceremony of Tangaza University in Nairobi on Friday, November 15, the head of state cautioned the clergy against fueling misinformation.
Addressing the congregation, President Ruto acknowledged his close ties with the Catholic fraternity, revealing that some of his children went to catholic schools
He went ahead to advise the clergy to stop the criticism and work closely with the government towards the progress of the nation and to build a country all Kenyans would be proud of.
“I want to ask leaders and clergy to work together towards a nation we can all be proud of and even as we engage in public discourse, which is important to Kenyans,” President Ruto commented.
“We must be careful to be factual lest we become victims of the things we accuse others of doing, I know you know what I mean,” the Head of State added.
President Ruto’s sentiments come barely hours after the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) criticised President Ruto’s administration over allegations of preventing corruption, unkept promises, abductions, and extrajudicial killings.
