President William Ruto has hit back at the organizers of the Occupy Jesus Winner Ministries protest in Nairobi, shortly after police lobbed teargas and arrested over 30 youths demonstrating in the city.

Speaking during a church service at AIC Annex Church in Eldoret on Sunday, the President warned those opposing contributions to churches in Kenya, insisting that they had no place in the country.

Ruto maintained that as the head of state, he would continue donating to churches despite growing public criticism. "Those who are against the word of God and the building of sanctuaries in Kenya will fail.

They will not succeed, they will not overcome us," Ruto stated.
