President William Ruto’s senior economic advisor, Moses Kuria has sided with the Catholic church following its decision to reject President William Ruto’s donations.
In a statement on Tuesday, November 19, Kuria noted that as a Roman Catholic, he believes that the church is always right.
“My two rules as a Roman Catholic who has gone through the Catechism process from Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Altar Boy to confirmation (As Francis) by the late Michael Cardinal Otunga of Kibabii. Rule Number 1 – The Catholic Church is always right. Rule Number 2- In case the Catholic Church is wrong refer to Rule Number 1,” he said.
This comes after the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) accused the government of engaging in a “culture of lies” and “unkept promises” while at the same time overtaxing Kenyans who are grappling with the high cost of living.
The bishops also called out the State for abducting its citizens and subsequently violating the Human Rights and freedom of speech enshrined in the Constitution.
They also touched on ineffective policies across several sectors such as Health, education, and security.
Following their statements, Ruto and his allies issued 15 press briefings condemning the clergy.
