President William Ruto addressed the issue of political disruptions in churches, urging security forces to prevent places of worship from being used for political agendas. His remarks follow an incident where United Opposition leaders, including Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, demanded an investigation into police who allegedly disrupted a church service in Nyeri County.

• President Ruto spoke at PEFA All Nations Gospel Church in Gikomba, Kamukunji Constituency on Sunday, February 2, 2026.
• He called for all security forces, including the National Police Service, to ensure churches remain places of peace and are protected from political fights.
• Critics noted that President Ruto and his allies have also used pulpits for political promotion, citing a December incident in Gatundu North where a church service attended by the President descended into chaos.
