The donation, which was confirmed by Senator Karungo Thang'wa, was made after Gachagua left to attend another service in Murang'a.

Thang'wa revealed that the money was specially allocated for painting the church.

“The last time we were here, the former Deputy President promised to contribute to the construction of the church for painting and windows. He gave me KSh 1 million for the work, and I have had it since October 2027. Now, he has reminded me that the promise is a debt and should be paid. I have brought it . Those funds are for painting,” he explained.

The head priest of the church expressed his gratitude to Gachagua and Thang'wa for their generosity, describing them as “gentlemen,” and also thanked God for the support of the former Vice President.

The high priest continued to convey his greetings to Gachagua, further emphasizing the positive effects of his contribution.

Why did the Catholic Church reject the contribution of William Ruto?

Speaking to the faithful, Thang'wa acknowledged the concerns of the community, noting that the Catholic Church rejected the contribution of President William Ruto.

He said that Kenyans often view such donations with suspicion, wondering if the money allegedly taken from them is being returned as a gift.

“We were afraid because someone sent money to the church and it was rejected. While I was talking to someone, he explained to me that you cannot accuse someone of stealing your goat and then later bring you bread and food for your children. Either they try to bewitch you or bribe you to forget. Before accepting any gift, first resolve preliminary charges,” he said.
