A group of Church leaders have indirectly reprimanded Deputy President William Ruto over his supposed rigid stand in the ongoing fight against corruption.
The leaders under County Dialogue team, on Wednesday insisted that President Uhuru Kenyatta was on the right path in his quest to leave behind a good legacy.
Led by Dr Rev Eliud Nyakundi, they said the approach taken by Uhuru and Raila Odinga to unite the country should not be opposed by other political leaders.
"The country has been enjoying peace since that truce and this is the right way to go. As Church, we support the peace initiative in the country for the sake of development," their statement read.
They added: "Fight against corruption is timely. The president is doing a fantastic job. Those opposed to it should find a place in their heart and embrace it. There is nothing tribal about it."
In his previous statements, Dr Ruto has insisted that the graft purge is selective and it's main aim is to block him in 2022 Presidential race. He also says that only a section of Kenyans are targeted.
But Uhuru has often maintained that his approach has nothing to do with the communities. The president has asked his critics to find time and report him to DCI if at all he has stolen.
The Church has come under scrutiny in the recent past with Kenyans questioning it's commitment in fostering peace and integrity on issues that matter a lot.
