Kimani Ichung’wah Says President Ruto Should Reward Clergymen With State Jobs

“The bishop’s teachings reminded me of Genesis 50, when Joseph’s brothers, who had betrayed him, went back to ask him for forgiveness. It is similar to how you were betrayed by your brother whom you campaigned for. Joseph told them ‘You intended harm on me but God intended good to accomplish what is being accomplished now to save many lives’”-Kimani Ichung’wah

Kikuyu constituency legislator Kimani Ichung’wah has urged President William Ruto to find jobs for the clergymen claiming they played a huge role in securing state power for Kenya Kwanza.   Mr Ichung’wah spoke during a thanksgiving ceremony in Kabranet, Baringo County, where President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua were also in attendance.

“What Bishop Kotut was requesting, I have heard him ask for a job and I want to ask you to find him, and other pastors, jobs. They supported us in prayer and you have confessed before that you would not have been president today if not for the prayers, and it is true. Their prayers made you president,” Ichung’wah said.

He asserted that President Ruto won the August 9th presidential polls despite “betrayal” by an unknown brother, alluding to the biblical tale of Joseph’s betrayal by his brothers.

“The bishop’s teachings reminded me of Genesis 50, when Joseph’s brothers, who had betrayed him, went back to ask him for forgiveness. It is similar to how you were betrayed by your brother whom you campaigned for. Joseph told them ‘You intended harm on me but God intended good to accomplish what is being accomplished now to save many lives’,” said the MP. He characterized Ruto’s victory as a unique gift from God intended to protect Kenyans from the problems facing their nation.

“Mr President, save the lives of these people by restoring the dignity of our economy to one that works and creates job opportunities for our youth so that we can stop losing them to alcohol,” he added.
