Days after facing sharp criticism for allegedly receiving KSh20 million from President William Ruto, Jesus Winner Ministry has issued a statement dismissing claims that it received the money.
Addressing the press on Thursday, March 6, the church's Secretary, Raphael Mweti, clarified that the multi-million-shilling funds were a pledge and not a cash donation, as alleged by some Kenyans.
According to Mweti, President Ruto pledged the money following a request from Bishop Edward Mwai, who informed the Head of State about the church's plan to build a larger structure.
However, he noted that while the church was yet to receive the money, it would not decline it, adding that the proceeds would be used to construct a larger building to accommodate more congregants.
