Reverend Timothy Njoya has dismissed social media reports that religious leaders were given money by President William Ruto during a meeting at State House Nairobi on Wednesday.
Speaking on Friday, June 29 night during an interview with NTV, Njoya wondered why netizens were speculating that the clergy was offered money during the meeting.
“How can you imagine that reverend Njoya can be given money by Ruto? Would you imagine? If I was not given by Kenyatta when I used to go to State House in Mombasa,” said Njoya.
The human rights activist noted that they told President Ruto that he should deal with corruption in his administration to which he responded positively.
“We told him that he should dismantle the corruption system. He responded to most of the issues very positively at that point and he was not under coercion,” Njoya stated.

He mentioned that they also asked President Ruto to stop giving money to churches but he did not give them a response.
“That one we said very Cleary. Some things he didn’t respond to them. We asked him many things but he seemed to agree,” Njoya added.
Further he expressed confidence that the religious leaders left State House hoping President Ruto heard their grievances and concern about the State of the Nation.
President Ruto met the religious leaders drawn from the National Council of Churches of Kenya, Kenya Coalition of Church and Ministries, and Evangelical Alliance of Kenya.
This is after the anti-finance2024 protests turned chaotic with some protestors being shot dead while others were injured.
