Gospel singer Reuben Kigame: Ruto administration is overdoing religion

According to the gospel musician, the presidency should be guided by Article 27 of the constitution. 

“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,” he wrote in a tweet on Thursday.

Kigame noted that during Ruto’s inauguration ceremony on September 13, the evangelical wing of the church was over present, something he termed as “unnecessary”.

“I do not know what the transition committee intended to prove to Kenya and the watching world.”

He further added; “I hope that issues such as lowering food prices will not be met with State House saying, “let’s pray about it.“

The gospel musician said he believes in prayer, and that God has been instrumental in bringing the country this far.

“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,” Kigame stated.
