President William Ruto has revealed that he has constructed a special field at State House in Nairobi meant for evangelism and hosting of religious leaders.
Speaking during a church service at the United Pentecostal Church of Kenya in Dagoretti North, Nairobi County, on Sunday, January 11, Ruto mentioned the construction of the field at State House Nairobi but did not disclose further details.
Ruto's mention of the field comes amid past criticism from Kenyans, who accused the State House of allegedly influencing religious leaders to align with the government and avoid addressing its shortcomings. ''I have a field I did construct here and it meant for evangelists, men of the cloak, you can come and step(bless) the field,'' Ruto added when extending an invitation to the leadership of the United Pentecostal Church to visit State House.
