Key Highlights

Following President William Ruto's defense of a Ksh 1.2 billion church construction at State House, Muslim leaders have demanded the construction of a mosque on the premises. They argue that State House represents all Kenyans and should accommodate all religions, not just Christianity.

  • Muslim leaders, including Sheikh Abu Qatada from the Pwani Patriotic Religious Leaders group, made the plea.
  • Ruto defended the church project, stating he is funding it with his own money, not taxpayer funds, and that its construction is based on his deep faith.
  • The demand for a mosque comes amidst public criticism over the church project, which Ruto dismissed as "works of satan."
