President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto were entertained by a Korean choir that performed "Mkono Wa Bwana" by the Tanzania gospel choir Zabron Singers in Seoul.
In a video seen by the Star, the singers, all dressed in black sang the Swahili song without much struggle.
They are seen dancing and even lifting their hands as the song flows.
"Umetutoa mbali,ukatushika mkono mahali uliona pekee hatuwezi (Chini, chini, chini) Chini hata juu watu unawainua sifa na utukufu ni zako milele (Natutakusifu) twasifu jina lako, milele tutakusifu (ooh kweli)daima we umwema tutaishi kwako," they sang as they danced in unison.
In the video, Ruto and Mama Rachel are seen seated with other delegates, keenly listening to the choir.
Some are seen nodding their heads while others are tapping their fingers on the seats.
The President and the First Lady have come out as two spiritual leaders when they got to power in 2022.
They used the song during the 2022 campaign period and general elections.
It has come to be associated with President Ruto.
