Ce projet, in\u00e9dit dans l\u2019histoire du pays, soul\u00e8ve de nombreuses interrogations sur la place de la religion dans la sph\u00e8re publique et sur les priorit\u00e9s du gouvernement.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un projet spirituel au sommet de l\u2019\u00c9tat<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Devant un parterre de fid\u00e8les et de responsables religieux r\u00e9unis dans les jardins de State House, William Ruto a justifi\u00e9 son initiative en invoquant la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de \u00ab placer Dieu au c\u0153ur de la nation \u00bb. \u00ab Le diable peut \u00eatre en col\u00e8re et faire ce qu\u2019il veut, mais nous, nous placerons notre confiance en Dieu \u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9, d\u00e9clenchant une salve d\u2019applaudissements.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le pr\u00e9sident, connu pour son engagement chr\u00e9tien affich\u00e9, souhaite faire de cette \u00e9glise un lieu de pri\u00e8re ouvert \u00e0 tous, mais aussi un symbole de l\u2019unit\u00e9 nationale.
