William Roto from Kenya to build a huge church in the country’s home

Kenyan President William Roto says he builds a church in the presidential housing in Nairobi, who will pay him for himself – and says he has nothing to apologize for.

“I will not ask anyone to apologize for building a church. Satan may be angry and can do what he wants,” said Roto on Friday.

This statement alone angered the Kenyans who are already frustrated by its leadership in leadership and what they consider to be the intertwining of the state and the church.

BBC has asked the government to comment.

It is not clear to what Roto was referring to as “Satan” in his comments in the state’s home, but he says nothing will prevent the project from moving forward.

“I did not start building this church when I entered the state’s house. I found a church but one made of iron papers. Does this seem to be appropriate for the state’s home?” Roto told the politician at a meeting he hosted on Friday.

On Friday, a leading newspapers in Kenya published the architectural designs showing a large building with stained glass windows and 8,000 people.

The paper wondered whether the project was in line with Kenya’s secular constitution.

There was also cost criticism, estimated at $ 9 million (6.5 million pounds), while many Kenyans are struggling with the high cost of living.

Roto said that he would pay the price of the church from his pocket, however this raises the issue of whether he has the right to build such a large structure on state owned property.

The Association of atheists in Kenya threatens the legal procedures to stop the construction of the church, describing it as shock and unacceptable.

“We consider this measure an anti -democracy and the promotion of Christian nationalism by President Roto. We want to remind him that Kenya does not belong to Christians only,” said group president, Harrison Mumia.

William Roto is the first Christian Christian president in Kenya, where he cultivates a parked image and earns the title of “Jesus’ Deputy”.

During his many years in his public office It is known that he quotes the Bible and cries in public places The behavior that has long been isolated some Kenyan.

Once again, when Roto was the vice president, he set up a church at his government residence in the Karen suburb, using it to host religious leaders of various religions.

While nearly 85 % of the Kenyans are Christians, there are also a large number of Muslim population of about 11 %, along with other minority religions including Hinduism and traditional African religions.

There is no mosque or temple in the presidency.

Meanwhile, Catholic Nairobi Archbishop Philip Anoulo says that clarity is urgently required about the type of structure that is being built, otherwise it may be seen on the preference of a Christian category over others.

“We must be very careful with this. This structure must be built in an area not a public institution. What is not built is a priest, but this is also unclear.”
