President William Ruto has affirmed to Kenyans that State House is a place of prayer.
Ruto dismissed critics saying they should stop frustrating themselves because Kenya is a prayerful nation.
"Sometime back I hosted prayers here at State House because of elections, and some people started saying that I have changed State House to a prayer place, I know even tomorrow they will say that I have changed it to be a place of prayer," Ruto said.
"I want to tell them to stop frustrating themselves because this is a place of prayer and it will continue being a place of prayer because Kenya is prayerful."
He said the constitution recognises the supremacy of God and that Kenya fears God.
The President spoke when he hosted Islam religious leaders and faithful for iftar at State House.
He assured them that they are in the right place because State House is a place that fears God.
"As a religious person, I take a lot of pride in associating with people who believe in God because I know the importance of fearing God," he said.
He said he will continue to make State House a place where there is reference to God.
The President has faced criticism over hosting religious leaders and prayers at State House.
Ruto, since his election and before he assumed office as the fifth president, has been seen to be very close to the church.
Several church leaders have been trooping to State House for prayers.
Critics argued that other faiths would feel left out by the country's leadership.
This is even as the President hosted Christians for payers he has also dined with the Muslim faithful.
