Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu on Sunday sparked a heated debate after asking politicians to repent when they see Deputy President William Ruto.
While speaking during a church service in Kahawa Wendani, the first-term governor explained that politicians should have reverence for the DP since he is a key pillar in the Jubilee administration.
“We have to touch on politics when we are in church because that is our work. We are not pastors.
“Our boss, the Deputy President is here. Therefore we have to repent. The same way pastors repent to bishops, we repent when we see Ruto,” stated Waititu.
