Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) CEO Ezekiel Mutua has said that Kenya needs to be prayerful.
In a statement on Thursday, Mutua dismissed Evangelist Reuben Kigame's sentiments on President William Ruto's stand on religion.
"Reuben Kigame is wrong. If he thinks the Ruto administration is overdoing religion, then the previous administration was overdoing the opposite. This country needs God," Mutua tweeted.
"We had sunk so low and thrown morality to the dogs. We cannot have too much of God, provided we also work hard!"
Kigame had said that Ruto's administration was "overdoing religion."
"I know I will be bashed but I need to be truthful and accountable to the nation. I think the Ruto administration is overdoing religion," Kigame said.
President Ruto attributed his win in the August 9 general election as one that took the hand of God, saying what appears impossible to man is possible before God.
Moments before his inauguration at Kasarani stadium, religious songs were played to entertain guests.
But Kigame said the "over-representation" of the evangelical wing of the church during his inauguration and that of his deputy Rigathi Gachagua on Tuesday was unnecessary.
"I do not know what the transition committee intended to prove to Kenya and the watching world," Kigame said.
"I am a committed Christian who believes in prayer and believe God has helped us this far and will continue to trust Him for the future of Kenya. But I hope that issues such as lowering food prices will not be met with State House saying, "let’s pray about it," Kigame added.
