In a recent sermon, a pastor from the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) insisted that offerings should be made in secret, commending the former vice president Rigathi Gachagua for allegedly doing so calmly without seeking praise.

The preacher claimed that Gachagua's donations, regardless of the amount, were given for the glory of God.

“Gachagua gave his offering, and we don't even know if it was KSh 1 or KSh 100,000, because he was giving to God,” he said.

Why did the preacher of PCEA criticize William Ruto?

However, the pastor strongly criticized President William Ruto, accusing him of hypocrisy.

He claimed that the president was a critic of the church in the beginning, then later started giving donations to find favors.

The preacher pointed out that the church cannot accept Ruto's donations, citing the difference between the financial donations of politicians and the poverty of many church members.

“When someone comes with KSh 5 million when there are 700 people in the church who are starving, what is the benefit? Isn't it better if we live without it? It would be better if they brought corn flour, at least we could eat. Then you come and throw KSh 5 million after insulting us. You can't insult us and then come with KSh 5 million and tell us to take it. We are children?” he questioned.
