On Monday evening, Nairobi Archdiocese Bishop Philip Anyolo announced that the money donated by President William Ruto during the Sunday service would be returned, citing that it contravened the church's policies.
Anyolo further maintained that
the Catholic Church will maintain a firm stance on politicians' donations,
highlighting the Church's need to safeguard itself from being used for
political purposes.
But in a rejoinder, the Head of
Creative Economy and Special Projects in Kenya Kwanza Alliance government,
Dennis Itumbi, quoted 16th Century French theologian, John Calvin who said the

doctrine of salvation with its man-made traditions.
"We hold that the Church cannot be a safe guide unless it follows the Word of God.
"The Catholic Church has corrupted the worship of God with countless superstitions and has falsified the pure doctrine of salvation with its man-made traditions."
"John Calvin,
1536. John Calvin was a key figure in the Reformation and was highly critical of
the Catholic Church's doctrines and practices. Forgive me Lord, Not my
word,” Itumbi wrote on his X
