State House Hosts Secret Sh1.2 Billion Church Project Under Ruto’s Watch.

In a move stirring debate across the nation, President William Ruto is quietly overseeing the construction of a colossal church within State House grounds—at an estimated cost of Sh1.2 billion. The mammoth project, unveiled in recent days, has drawn fresh scrutiny over the intersection of state resources and religious influence.

Construction has progressed swiftly, largely under the radar, with senior architects and clergy spotted visiting the grand compound adjoining the presidency. Insiders say the project has Ruto’s personal backing, amid fears the installation could become a permanent symbol of political and faith-based power converging at the highest level.

Critics are already sounding alarms. Opposition leaders accuse the President of appropriating public land and budget lines to entrench his religious affiliations. “This isn’t just a church—it’s a political statement,” one senior lawmaker commented, speaking on condition of anonymity. Analysts echo the concern, warning that a religious sanctuary inside State House risks eroding the secular integrity of the nation’s top office.

Supporters, however, argue the church will serve as a unifying spiritual hub for national ceremonies, offering a “place of prayer and reflection” for all Kenyans. They view the construction as a nod to the deeply-held Christian beliefs that resonate with a majority of the population.

The coming days will put the project under intense public and parliamentary scrutiny. Key questions loom: Will detailed budgets and approvals be revealed? Which departments are funding the build—the state or private donors? And perhaps most urgently, what precedent does a faith structure on State House grounds set for future administrations?

For President Ruto, the gamble is twofold: garnering public goodwill from religious communities while risking backlash from civil rights advocates and secular voices calling for clearer separation between church and state.
