President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto have urged Kenyans to always remember that united, they are an unstoppable force.
In a video message with their 2024 Christmas message, the first family encouraged Kenyans to give during the festivities to warm the hearts of every Kenyan.
This way, Ruto and the first lady said Kenyans can also get to experience the power of giving.
“This Christmas, let us remember that together we are unstoppable. Let our actions affirm the power of our unity, solidarity and compassion. Do not hesitate to perform acts of friendship and kindness. Experience the miracle of giving by giving. Together we will do great deeds for our nation and warm every Kenyan heart.
“To each one of you and your families, Merry Christmas and a happy prosperous new year, 2025.”
In further messages, President Ruto and Mama Rachel celebrated the millions of Kenyans who are working tirelessly towards the transformation of the country.
Here’s what they said;
“This Christmas I invite you to go with me on a brief journey to honour millions of men and women whose service is defining our collective national transformation endeavors, significantly contributing to nation-building. Because of their hard work, determination, and dedication, there is evidence before us that the work of building a stronger, more united, secure, and prosperous Kenya is underway.
Our health workers are guardians of our wellbeing, using 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.
“Every brick you lay takes our country forward towards a future of dignity, security and inclusive growth. In constructing these homes, we are building lasting homes for Kenyan families.
“Planting trees is an act of hope. We do this to remind ourselves that our actions can make a difference for us and for future generations. Trees protect our rivers and water catchment areas, combat climate change, and beautify our land. Our tree planting programme is our collective expression of hope for a Kenya that is beautiful and bountiful, now and for years to come,” Ruto added.
“Kenya's future is in the classroom. Having been a teacher, I understand how difficult it is to teach a hungry child. Our mission is to make sure hunger doesn’t get in the way of our children's education. A plate of food is power in a child's hands,” Mama Rachel stated.
“A kitchen garden is a gift we give ourselves that keeps giving. Providing families with fresh, healthy meals. You can transform your meal table by stepping out to do a little cultivation this Christmas. Let us grow more organic food and nourish our children with love and care.
“This is a season of love, gratitude, and giving. Let us rediscover the power of selfless love in the spirit of this festive season. May it continue to inspire us as we raise our families, serve our communities, and build our nation,” the First Lady added.
