Happening Now: Ruto Attends Church Service at St. Mary’s Girls High School Grounds in Narok

President William Ruto is in Narok County today, November 15, where he is attending a church service at St. Mary’s Girls High School grounds.

His visit comes just a day after he attended the fourth edition of the Maa Cultural and Tourism Festival at Sekenani in Narok, where he joined members of the Maa community in celebrating their cultural heritage.

The President’s latest engagements in the county come at a time when political activities are gaining momentum ahead of the 2027 General Election.

During Saturday’s cultural festival, political tensions emerged after supporters associated with Narok Governor Patrick Ole Ntutu and Narok West MP Gabriel Tongoyo clashed.

The confrontation disrupted parts of the celebrations, with chairs thrown, tents brought down and security officers moving in to restore order.

Ruto addressed the disagreements and urged leaders and residents to avoid political divisions and give every leader an opportunity to present their agenda before making their choices.

He also reminded the community that political competition should not lead to violence or hatred among residents.

The President used the festival to highlight his administration’s development plans for the region, including land, infrastructure and healthcare projects.

Among the projects he mentioned were plans for a Level Five hospital in Kilgoris and an international airport in Narok.

The Maa Cultural and Tourism Festival also provided an opportunity to showcase Maasai traditions, cultural performances and locally made products.

Ruto’s continued presence in Narok places him among residents and local leaders as the country approaches another election season.

His church attendance at St. Mary’s Girls High School grounds is the latest engagement reported during his visit to the county.

The developments come as political leaders across the country continue holding public gatherings and engaging communities ahead of the 2027 polls.
