Deputy President William Ruto has vowed to continue giving money to charitable courses despite questions and criticism from a section of his critics, mostly from the opposition.
Speaking on Sunday, the DP said that his generosity is the reason behind his financial comfort, which has seen a section of politicians question the source of his money.
Speaking at the St Luke's Mihang'o Church in Nairobi, the DP added that giving is dictated in the holy book, and no one has a right to question his generosity.
"We do not give because we have, but we have because we give. If you read the Bible, it tells us that if you give you shall receive and that you shall receive according to the measure that you give,” Ruto said at PCEA St Lukes in Mihang’o," he was quoted by the Standard.
He said that those questioning him should stop stressing him, as he is only exploiting a secret that he has discovered, and which they can also try.
"I have seen some people stressing on why I donate to churches, but it is clear that they are yet to discover the secret to giving. The secret of receiving more or being blessed is by giving more," he added.
Ruto's remarks were echoed by a section of leaders who accompanied him, with the group also vowing to wrestle a new bill seeking to tame fundraisers.
Langata MP Nixon Korir said that they are ready to quash the bill that is set to be presented on the floor of the House by Suna South MP John Mbadi.
"Once the bill is introduced, we will toss it out and make sure it does not pass because helping churches is something that is in the Bible,” said Korir.
The bill seeks to cap contributions given by state officials at Sh100, 000 and an explanation when the amount is exceeded, in what Mbadi hopes will tame graft among state officials.
Ruto's generosity has repeatedly seen him branded corrupt, with his critics arguing that his source of income is not commensurate to the money he donates to churches.
