The African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) has disavowed a group of women who attended a President Ruto church service in Gatundu on December 14, 2025, claiming they were hired by politicians.

• A church leader stated these women, wearing controversial blue headscarves, were ferried in by politicians for political purposes.
• The headscarves, typically available only at the church headquarters in Nairobi, were allegedly distributed by politicians to non-members.
• The service was marred by heated political exchanges between Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and Thika Town MP Alice Ng'ang'a, prompting President Ruto to intervene and call for amicable politics.
