After buying a car gift for the Kisumu Arch Bishop Philip Anyolo and later the same vehicle re-gifted to another organization, this news didn’t go well with the deputy president William Ruto who has come out to relieve his anger. “The master of deceit as always is spewing desperate lies,” Ruto started his Twitter post.
Opposition Leader Raila Odinga had been quoted stating that the Pope had ordered Archbishop Anyolo to return the gift. “Recently, during the installation of Archbishop of Catholic Diocese of Kisumu, someone took a vehicle to the bishop as a gift. When the Pope was informed that the Archbishop had received a car gift, he [Pope Francis] ordered that the vehicle be returned,” alleged Raila. True to his instruction, the car was returned because it was acquired from proceeds of corruption,” continued the ODM leader.
Speaking to Citizen TV, Archbishop Anyolo revealed that he did not need the Mitsubishi Pajero 2012 model that was donated at his installation. He, therefore, ordered that the car be given to an institution which he explained would benefit from it more than he would.
