Tensions are rising in Roysambu, Nairobi, as Kenyans prepare for a protest at Jesus Winner Ministry church over President William Ruto’s controversial donation. On March 2, 2025, Ruto donated KSh 20 million to the church, pledged KSh 100 million for its construction, and allocated 20 acres of public land to the church, sparking public outcry.

A group of youths has organized a protest under the “Occupy Jesus Winner” banner, set for March 9, 2025. They demand greater transparency over the land and funds, questioning the use of public resources for private religious purposes. Organizer Morara Kebaso stated, “We want clarity on the funds and land allocation. Kenyans deserve answers.”

The protest has ignited mixed reactions, with some criticizing the potential misuse of public resources, while others defend the church. Public figures and activists continue to debate whether such donations are appropriate, especially when involving public land.

Authorities are monitoring the situation as the protest approaches, fearing it could escalate. As the debate over the intersection of politics, religion, and public resources intensifies, all eyes are on Roysambu this weekend.
