STATE HOUSE REVELATION: Mudavadi Reveals Why He Refused to Touch the Bible During Swearing-In

The mystery behind one of the most talked-about swearing-in ceremonies in the country has finally been blown wide open, with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi stepping forward to clear the air.

Addressing a high-profile gathering at State House, Nairobi, on Monday, August 3, 2026—where President William Ruto hosted members of the Friends Church Kenya (Quakers)—Mudavadi pulled back the curtain on why he deliberately chose not to raise or use a Bible while taking his solemn oath of office.

Recalling the intense public scrutiny and vicious backlash that followed his inauguration, Mudavadi revealed that critics who were completely unfamiliar with the tenets of the Quaker faith rushed to brand him an atheist.

Addressing the congregation directly, the Prime Cabinet Secretary firmly put those malicious rumors to bed, explaining that his actions were rooted entirely in the deeply held traditions of his church.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow believers, Mudavadi stated: "When a Quaker says ‘no,’ it is a no. Mr President, when I took the oath of office, I chose not to use a Bible.

Those who did not understand the Quaker faith began calling me an atheist. I told them I am not an atheist. That is our faith, and we are firm in it."

As this frank confession echoes across political and religious circles, it provides a definitive end to months of speculation while proudly highlighting the unwavering conviction of one of the government's most senior leaders!
