Kenyans React as Rachel Ruto Reveals Why Her Husband, President Ruto, Is Working Hard

First Lady Rachel Ruto has praised President William Ruto for his commitment to serving Kenyans, saying he does not get tired of working because of the spirit God has given him.

Speaking during a public gathering in Kerio Valley on Thursday, October 22, 2026, Rachel described her husband as a leader who remains committed to serving the country.

She used the Swahili phrase “Ile roho Mungu amempatia” to explain what she believes gives the President the strength to continue working.

According to Rachel, William Ruto is dedicated to serving Kenyans without discrimination, regardless of their background or where they come from.

Her remarks come as the President continues with his public engagements and government activities across the country. His administration has been pushing its development agenda while political leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Rachel also used the gathering to ask Kenyans to pray for the President and other leaders as the country approaches a new year.

The First Lady’s appeal placed the focus on leadership and the responsibility that comes with serving the country. She urged Kenyans to remember those in positions of authority in their prayers as they carry out their duties.

Her comments are likely to attract attention at a time when the President’s leadership continues to feature prominently in public discussions, especially as the country moves closer to the next election.

Ruto has maintained a busy schedule involving government projects, public meetings and engagements with leaders from different parts of Kenya.

However, Rachel’s remarks reflected her personal view of what motivates her husband to continue serving the country despite the demands of his office.

The First Lady’s message also comes as Kenyans continue to follow political developments and government activities ahead of the 2027 polls.
