‘Let us remember to celebrate our nation’ – President Ruto tells Kenyans

President William Ruto has encouraged Kenyans to celebrate one another amid the festive season. 

Speaking during a church service at the AIC Olpisiai in Kilgoris, Narok County on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, the Head of State highlighted the importance of celebrating one another for the prosperity of the nation. 

He asserted that the country’s future was dependent on strong families, therefore citizens should join hands and unite as families. 

“For us to have a strong nation, we must have a strong foundation for our children and strong families, therefore as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we must also remember to celebrate our children, our families and our nation, knowing very well that the future of our nation is dependent on a strong foundation for our children and the future of a strong nation is dependent on strong families and societies. Some tuungane Kama wananchi,” the president said. 

Ruto’s call for unity comes a day after he urged Kenyans to embrace the spirit of unity, gratitude and giving this festive season. 

In his message, Ruto underscored the importance of healthcare workers in the country and described them as the guardians of the country’s well-being. 

“Our health workers use their knowledge, skills, and compassion to ensure every Kenyan has access to care. Your work is the foundation of a healthier nation and a healthier future,” the president said. 

He also spoke on the government’s affordable housing project which he described as a key initiative aimed at fostering inclusivity and equity. 

“Every brick you lay takes our country forward towards a future of dignity, security, and inclusive growth. By constructing these homes, we are building lasting hope for Kenyan families,” Ruto added.
