Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) has called for the return of a KSh 5 million donation made by President William Ruto to the church through Bungoma governor Kenneth Lusaka. Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit of ACK said the donation in Bungoma was unfortunate.
During a press briefing by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) on Tuesday, December 3, Ole Sapit expressed disappointment over the acceptance of the funds by the Bungoma bishop. He described the move as unfortunate and contrary to the ACK’s principles, which reject donations with unclear sources.
The cleric claimed the donation was meant to shame ACK after the Catholic church rejected Ruto’s contribution to a Nairobi church. “What happened in Bungoma was unfortunate because it was like a display of trying to see what will the Anglican church do following the decision by the Catholics,” Ole Sapit remarked.
He further accused all branches of the Kenya Kwanza government, Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, and independent commissions, of being tainted by corruption. “It is very unfortunate that every arm of the government; Executive, Legislature and Judiciary and even the independent commissions have been associated with corruption,” he added.
