Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday disclosed that there were politicians who were investing their money in witchcraft and criticising him for his donations to churches.
Speaking during a church service at AIPCA Patanisho in Kayole, the DP hit back at leaders who took issue with the DP's benevolence during the services.
“Some people have been criticising my frequent church attendance. But if you investigate these people very well, they use their money at night. They take their money to witchdoctors at night, but we take our money to church during the day for the work of God,” he stated.

The DP has fallen under heavy criticism in the past with a section of leaders including NASA leader Raila Odinga questioning the source of his huge donations which happen nearly every weekend.
In particular, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna has continued the party's questioning of the source of Ruto's continued hefty investment in church donations.
"How can somebody who is responsible for a country that is failing, be doing so well in his private business?
"How comes that this business acumen cannot be translated into the country so that we all prosper? And when you ask, you are told that he is an astood businessman," Sifuna quipped during a past interview.
On his part, however, the DP has told off critics stating: "Mimi ninainvest kwa mambo ya mbinguni. Wewe ukitaka kuinvest mahali pengine… si kila mtu ako na uhuru wa kuinvest pahali anataka? (I am investing in heaven. If you wish to invest elsewhere so be it. Everyone has a choice on their investment priority)."
Earlier in the month, he contributed a staggering Ksh8 million in cash at All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi during a Sunday service.
In a video seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the DP was seen receiving contributions from other politicians accompanying him before making his contribution.
