Kenya's opposition, led by Kalonzo Musyoka of the Wiper Patriotic Front, has accused President William Ruto of using public funds to bribe the church to regain popularity, a claim vehemently denied by the government.

• The accusations arose during a pastors' ordination service in Machakos County on Saturday, September 20.
• The opposition leaders warned clergy against being used for political manipulation and vowed to unseat President Ruto in 2027.
• Kalonzo Musyoka specifically alleged that bishops were given "Prados" and urged them to persuade him to join the President.
• Former DP Rigathi Gachagua stated he was the designated spokesman for discussions involving Kalonzo, advising against using intermediaries.
• DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa criticized "bribing Kenyans" as blackmail, emphasizing the right to development.
