A section of Kenyans has reacted sharply to a viral video showing a bishop making controversial remarks during President William Ruto’s recent visit to her region.
In the clip circulating widely on social media, the bishop is seen praising the Head of State for launching key development projects and engaging with local communities.
While her initial message appeared to align with appreciation for government efforts, it was a particular statement that quickly drew public attention and criticism.
The bishop declared that she “loves” the President and went further to say she would “worship him” if he visited again—remarks that many Kenyans have found inappropriate, especially coming from a religious leader.
The statement has since sparked intense debate online, with critics accusing her of crossing a line between spiritual leadership and political allegiance.

However, others have come to her defense, suggesting the comment may have been a slip of the tongue or taken out of context. They argue that the bishop’s broader message was one of gratitude and support for development initiatives in the region.
In the same address, the bishop also appealed to the government to include clergy members in affordable housing programs, noting that men and women of God should benefit just like other citizens.
The incident highlights the ongoing conversation around the role of religious leaders in politics and the expectations placed on them by the public.
