First Lady Rachel Ruto has challenged elected and religious leaders to work together to address the challenges facing Kenyans.

Speaking during a breakfast meeting with leaders at Ole Ntimama Stadium on the last day of her tour of Narok county yesterday, Rachel said the difficult economic times, leadership wrangles, and social and environmental challenges require collective responsibility to solve them.

“I encourage the elected leaders and members of the clergy to embrace unity as the bible reminds us in Psalms 133:1, that we share our responsibilities in whatever capacity we are to serve humanity,” she said.
“Our presence here transients individual titles and rules and when people live and work together, they require unity to achieve different goals and create opportunities,” she added.

She rallied leaders to work together in serving Kenyans saying that each one of them should play their roles to support President William Ruto transformation agenda.

Narok Governor Patrick Ole Ntutu thanked the First Lady for touring the county and initiating the Mama Doing Good Initiative programmes including the Narok county city transformation where she donated 100 metal dustbins.

“This initiative is all-encompassing addressing matters table banking, tree planting, city transformation, as well as matters youth and spiritual leadership, and we say it was a blessing having you here, I also assure the spiritual leaders present of my administration’s commitment to supporting churches,” said Ntutu.

Earlier, the First Lady opened the Centre of Excellence in Nursery Management at Maasai Mara University, an initiative in partnership with the Kenya Forestry Research Institute set to empower youth and women to champion change in their communities and provide training and best practices in tree nursery management.
