Raila Wants DP William Ruto Investigated over Weekly Church Donations Worth Millions

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has taken a swipe at Deputy President William Ruto over weekend church donations.

Odinga has called for investigations into the source of millions of shillings Ruto donates to churches every weekend.

Speaking in Kisumu, the Orange Democratic Movement leader has questioned how Ruto is able to give away over Sh15 million every weekend when his monthly income is known to be Sh1 million.

"Every weekend, this church Sh5 million, the other church Sh5 million, the other church Sh5 million. That's Sh15 million in one weekend."

"Your salary is only Sh1 million per month and in a whole month, you could donate Sh100 million. This needs to be investigated," Odinga asserts.

Odinga has also accused the church of encouraging corruption and money laundering, stating that they must question the source of the cash donated to them.

He claims that some of the millions the churches are receiving are looted public funds meant for hospitals and roads.

"Churches are being used as avenues for money laundering. They launder money which has been corruptly acquired."

"We cannot fight corruption if we do not fight its tentacles we have said in the past look for avenues where they can launder their money," Odinga states.
