“A gun on one hand and a Bible on the other hand, that is how our forefathers lost their freedom, their land and it took blood to regain it. 60 years on, we have a terrorist guarantor who never misses a verse to quote.” read the caption
The photo is from August 2021 when Ruto attended a church service at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, Langata, Nairobi County.

As elections near, such cases are expected to rise and the government has warned Kenyans to be careful before sharing anything online.

The video was reported by the Star Newspaper who later offered an apology saying they did know it was edited.
