The televangelist said President Ruto earns a meager salary and can’t manage to support churches without having businesses. In his statement, no one can travel using helicopters and be the president without having money.
“Wewe unataka kuniambia Rais Ruto hana pesa? Huyu mtu hafanyi biashara? Wewe unataka kuniambia hiyo millioni mbili mnamlipa ndio pesa anategemea? Akitoa pesa zake aende atoe sadaka amekukosea? Sasa akitoa millioni ishirini ni news?“ He posed.
The renowned televangelist added that even though he was arrested by the government, he doesn’t keep mum as citizens disrespect President Ruto’s rank.

“Tuwache hii mambo ya kukashifu kila kitu, akitoa millioni mbili rudisha akitoa millioni tano rudisha akitoa elfu hamsini mtasema hiyo ni pesa gani ametoa rais mzima akitoa millioni ishirini hatutaki, kama mnachukia mtu mchukie mtu lakini msichukie presidency,” he advised.
He also advised congregants not to question President Ruto’s sources of money since preachers don’t ask them where they get their tithes and offerings.
