Deputy President, William Ruto, has warned the Jubilee MPs against supporting the proposed amendments to the Public Officer Ethics Act.

He said doing so will attract the wrath of God against the leaders and they will perish for sabotaging the work of God.

The amendment being tabled by the National Assembly Leader of the minority, John Mbadi aims among other things to compel people making contributions in churches and other places to account for the source of their money.

The DP spoke yesterday at PCEA Church in Kasuku town, Ol Joro Orok, where he presided over a fundraiser. He said if people forget God after he bless them their welfare go wrong.
