President William Ruto’s opposition is coming from an unlikely source

Reuben Kigame is a staunch Christian, a musician of over 30 years with 29 albums under his belt.

He had the following to say over the UDA govt’s shoving of Christianity down the throats of Kenyans in state functions, social media, radio and TV stations.

I know I will be bashed but I need to be truthful and accountable to the nation. I think the Ruto administration is overdoing religion. While we acknowledge the hand of God in bringing us this far, presidency must observe Article 27 of the constitution.

During the inauguration, the evangelical wing of the church was overrepresented. this was unnecessary. I do not know what the transition committee intended to prove to Kenya and the watching world.

Reuben Kigame, HSC, on Intellectual Property Theft In Kenya

I am a committed Christian who believes in prayer and believe God has helped us this far and Will continue to trust Him for the future of Kenya, but I hope that issues such as lowering food prices will not be met with State house saying, “let’s pray about it.“

I strongly believe that the church should play A neutral, prophetic, balanced and truthful role in order to provide a true spiritual direction for the country. it should congratulate the king but also be prepared to tell the king that he is naked should he be.

I know I will be bashed but I need to be truthful and accountable to the nation. I think the Ruto administration is overdoing religion. While we acknowledge the hand of God in bringing us this far, presidency must observe Article 27 of the constitution.

Similar sentiments were also voiced by Atheists In Kenya

“Rachel Ruto is effectively transforming the statehouse into a religious playfield. This goes against Articles 8 and 32 of our Constitution,” – Harrison Mumia, Founder and President of the Atheists In Kenya Society.

Article 27 of Kenya’s constitution speaks on Equality and freedom from discrimination. Among the items listed is (4) The State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against any person on any ground, including race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, dress, language or birth.
