Africa-Press – Kenya. Even as his deputy Rigathi Gachagua faces an impeachment motion at the National Assembly, President William Ruto on Sunday steered clear of the matter during his address at a church service at AIC Millimani, Nairobi.

Ruto, who has kept mum on the woes facing his deputy, used the forum to assure the church of his commitment to safeguard freedom of worship.

Gachagua, on the other hand, made a public appearance at a church service held at his official Karen Residence after five days off the limelight.

Ruto in his address, a few kilometres away, assured the church that the government would not regulate church activities in Kenya.

“The Constitution of Kenya is very explicit on the freedom of worship. There will be no compromise and limitation whatsoever on the freedom of worship in Kenya,” he said.

“We are a God-fearing nation and we will equally defend our faith as Christians and as different religions. We will make sure to protect the freedom of worship.”

Ruto asked those seeking to draft laws on churches to allow the religious leaders to develop guidelines on how they want to regulate themselves

“The religious leaders in Kenya will decide how they want to make sure that the freedom of worship is protected. I want to assure the church and religious institutions in Kenya that we will defend the freedom of worship and it will not be compromised in whatsoever manner,”” he said.

The Head of State went on to ask the church to pray for the peace and unity of the country.
