A Wiper legislator has asked ODM leader Raila Odinga to desist from politicising Deputy President William Ruto's donations to churches all the time.
Borabu MP Ben Momanyi said Dr Ruto's philanthropic activities should be appreciated instead of persistent castigation from the ODM leaders across the country.
Momanyi, who caucuses with Raila's party, said it was unfortunate to see Ruto castigated in everything he does including participation in fundraisers.
"I think Rt Hon Raila Odinga should not castigate DP William Ruto all the time. He should appreciate him even once in a while. Accusing someone of theft just because of fundraisers is not good," he argued.
"If you're in a position to help a church, just do it. It's not important to always attack him. It's time we embrace peace and stop political witch-hunt," said Momanyi.
Over the weekend, Dr Ruto visited Gusii region and donated Sh10 towards construction of South Kenya Conference offices at Nyanchwa in Kisii County.
The move has attracted criticism from areas residents with a section of Kisiis living in the US accusing the SDA Church of condoning theft. The church is yet to issue a statement over the same.
And during the similar event, Ruto also gave Sh3 million to Nyanchwa SDA Secondary School for construction of classes. He also gave Sh100, 000 for meals.
