Brian Mutiga, a bold and energetic leader from Mt. Kenya, the turf of the current Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, has made waves with his latest remarks on the relationship between the church and politics.
The church stated that it would return the money to its donors, sparking a national debate.
Speaking on X, Brian Mutiga praised the church for taking a firm stand, stating, “The church is now back to where it’s supposed to be.” He urged religious leaders to steer clear of political entanglements, particularly avoiding visits to State House.
His post called for others, including everyday Kenyans like small-scale traders (“mama mbogas”) and boda boda riders, to reject any financial favors from the government as well.
Mutiga’s pointed remark, “Then it’s over for Ruto, Farouk Kibet, Oscar Sudi & Co,” suggested that such rejections could spell the end of the political influence wielded by the President and his close allies.
Farouk Kibet, a powerful figure in Ruto’s inner circle, and Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi have long been seen as key operatives in the Kenya Kwanza administration.
With influential voices like Mutiga’s joining the call for accountability, the pressure on Ruto and his allies continues to mount. Whether this momentum translates into significant political consequences remains to be seen.
