Nobody gave him the permission to put up such a building on public grounds. he is doing it secretly just the same way he changed the looks of State House. Parliament has no clue. This is illegal. Kwani State House ni ya mama yake?

Ruto is truly low IQ, cannot even understand the separation of church and government, he has to then build a mosque, a temple etc what happened to our country? We went from the likes of Matiba, Kibaki, Jaramogi to this low IQ trash? How much could that amount of money done for schools and hospitals in Baringo or Turkana? Other African countries are working hard to decolonize while our idiot is building monuments of Colonialism right in the middle of power.

When William Ruto forked his own billions to construct 147 classrooms in Nairobi county to support the Government's 3500 new classrooms built nationwide, the media buried the story and never reported. Now that he is using his 10% tithe to build State House Chapel that was dilapidated, guns come blazing. The media is not reporting Uhuru's 100 million bar/joint was also demolished to pave way for bigger space for church. On another note, since when did someone's money and the way he likes to spend become an issue? Take your money and do what you think is of value to you. Ruto has billions and billions of dollars and he should spend his money without conforming or paying attention to losers and jealous folk! Also, don't underestimate the move politically, building churches in Kenya or any majority christian country gets you votes in droves!

Who gave him the permission to build a church on public property? Very simple question.
Was there public participation? Is State House his private property. Nobody would question him doing the same in Sugoi.
Ruto is a certified educated idiot!

You are the one who is a certified idiot and world-class loser. The president is the supreme leader of the Government of Kenya, and in the constitution (and all the clauses), he has the power to do pretty much anything, especially building anything on public lands. Read the Kenyan constitution before you yup!He can rearrange the government and make decisions on public land without consulting anyone!

Executive Powers:
Head of State and Government: The President is the supreme leader, representing the nation and overseeing the government.
Commander-in-Chief: The President leads the Kenya Defence Forces.
Appointment and Dismissal: The President appoints and dismisses various officials, including Cabinet Secretaries, the Attorney-General, principal secretaries, ambassadors, and other public officers.
Chairperson of Cabinet: The President chairs Cabinet meetings and oversees the operations of different government ministries and departments.
National Security Council: The President is the chairperson of the National Security Council.

First off - in the Kenya 2010 constitution there is nothing like "Supreme leader" you supreme fool! The 2010 Kenyan Constitution explicitly states that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya. This power can be exercised directly by the people or through their elected representatives. So Kijana, if there is any such thing as supreme on this land, IT IS HAS TO BE 'THE PEOPLE'.
Secondly, the fact that you have not bother to mention in your response that since 2010, there was a new constitution and out of it was born a National Land Commission (NLC) which removed direct land administration from the docket of the President just goes to prove you are just another illiterate kale purporting to have lived in California. You, and not @kadudu is without a doubt the bottom feeding trashcan mursk filled brain certified foolish idiot. Small wonder I see recorded on Nipate that Your REPUTATION IS ZERO POUNTS!
You come here quoting powers that Moi had. Ruto governs under the 2010 Constitution and both you and your brother haven't a clue that the constitutional powers Moi had aren't the once the same office has anymore. You didn't bother to provide a link - purposely of course - because that would give your narrative away that they no longer apply. Kumbaff sana.

Where as Moi was custodian of public land during his tenure, under the 2010 constitution the President's previous direct control and administration has been replaced by the NLC. NLC manages public land and the president's role was to ensure policy and new laws are enacted. I am not aware of any law that had greenlighted a private citizen to build a humongous edifice on public land. 

The 2010 Kenyan Constitution significantly reshaped land management by establishing the National Land Commission (NLC) and limiting the President's power over land allocation. The NLC, an independent body, now manages public land and oversees land administration, replacing the President's previous direct control. This shift aimed to promote transparency, accountability, and equity in land matters.

In more details:
1. Establishment of the National Land Commission (NLC):
The Constitution created the NLC as a constitutional body with the mandate to manage public land on behalf of both the national and county governments.
This removed the President's direct control over public land allocation, which was previously a significant source of power.
2. Limiting Presidential Powers:
The NLC's independence means the President can no longer unilaterally allocate or manage public land.
The NLC is responsible for developing a national land information management system and advising the national and county governments on land policy.
The President's role is now primarily focused on policy direction and ensuring the implementation of land laws, rather than direct administration.

1.2 billion is not pocket change. The president should release his tax returns. Assure Kenyans on source of funds.

NLC and the constitution talk about large swaths of land like forests, parks, etc., that are out of the president's hands, but land like state houses, lodges, and other places under the executive is the work of the president to determine what to do with it. Even Okiya Omtata agrees with me; that is why he said he cannot take the matter to court. The president can decide to build a bar, church, or brothel on the Statehouse. The next president can also demolish and build an adult cabaret, or whatever he wishes!
