Ruto confronts PAG clergy over silence on his Ksh10M donation
By Luke Oluoch, October 4, 2025President William Ruto on Saturday, October 4, 2025, put the Vihiga Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) clergy in the spotlight over what he termed as their ‘silence over a Ksh10 million’ he donated during a past fundraising function.
Speaking during the centenary celebration at Nyang’ori (PAG) Church in Vihiga County, Ruto jokingly revealed he was reluctant to make a second donation.

“The last time I was here, you asked for my help; i donated 10 million. You did not say a word about it. That was the mistake you made,”he stated.
“You know the bible says that is when you’re faithful in what is little, you will be entrusted with more. So I am not sure if I should do it(donate) today,” he stated.
Ruto further defended his record in helping churches, and specifically the PAG church.
He stressed that, unlike other leaders, he has been at the forefront in helping churches with fundraising functions.
The president went on to boast that none came close to hi in helping the PAG church.
My Record
“Among all Kenyan leaders, I can say without fear of contradiction that there is no leader who comes close to me in the financial assistance we have made to the PAG church,” he stated.
“Has there been a leader who has donated here Ksh 10 M? The others have just been making promises and going away. The bible says faith without action is dead I am not the one who said it,” he stated.

Ruto, however, continued in his tradition of donations in church, this time promising a Ksh50 million for the church project.
“Bwana bishop kwa hio ujenzi yako ya nyumba, mimi nitakutumia millioni 50 ndio muendelee hivyo na Mungu atawajalia. Mkikwama apo mbele munitafutemimibado niko area.“
The Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) Kenya is celebrating its 100th anniversary at the Nyang’ori headquarters in Vihiga County, with President William Ruto and other government dignitaries in attendance.
