Dennis Itumbi, head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy, has urged Anglican Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit to accept the role of 'State House Bishop,' emphasizing that this position is traditional and by design.

• Itumbi asserted that the Anglican Church has historically been positioned to serve as a spiritual advisor to the presidency, referencing the close proximity of Archbishopbourne to State House.
• The controversy follows President William Ruto's announcement of a new church at State House, raising questions on its constitutional implications related to state religion.
• Itumbi highlighted the Anglican Church's hesitance to embrace this role despite its historical significance and previous attempts to formalize it.
