President William Ruto’s admission of a plan to build a Ksh.1.2 billion mega-church at State House has triggered sharp criticism from legal experts and religious leaders.

And in a fresh twist to the State House church plan, a section of Muslim leaders now want the president to build a mosque within State House grounds or risk appearing to sideline other faiths.
