Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua accused President William Ruto of politicizing the church to suppress dissent, alleging systematic transfers of clergy who are supportive of him.

• Gachagua claims that church leaders who associate with him face instant transfers, labelling it a form of dictatorship.
• The allegations include pressure on an archdeacon and a bishop after welcoming him, undermining his political standing in Central Kenya.
• He stressed that "the church belongs to God, not to any one individual or political office," vowing to continue attending services.
