National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah wants President William Ruto to reward pastors with jobs for their support during the last general election.
The Kikuyu lawmaker argues that the church played a key role in granting Ruto success during the August 9 election.
“President Ruto, when Bishop Kotut was preaching. I heard him ask for a job.
“I am requesting that you find work for the Bishop and other pastors as well. Because they also protected us with their prayers,” he stated.
“You have confessed before that you would not have been president if not for prayers, and it is true. Their prayers made you president,” he added.

Bishop William Kotut of the Africa Inland Church has asked Ruto to consider the welfare of pastors and preachers.
Ichug’wah says Ruto’s August 9 victory was a special gift from God.
He claims that Ruto’s win was meant to save Kenyans from the challenges they were facing.
At the same time, the MP wants the head of state to create job opportunities for the youth.
“Mr President, save these people’s lives by restoring the dignity of our economy to one that works and creates job opportunities for our youth so that we can stop losing them to alcohol,” he added.
