Bridal Shower Comes After Traditional Koito Ceremony
The celebration comes nearly three months after Charlene and Isaya held their traditional Kalenjin engagement ceremony, popularly known as Koito.
The ceremony took place on August 8, 2026, at President Ruto’s Intonna Heritage Farm in Kilgoris, Narok County.
The event brought together relatives, friends and prominent guests from Kenya and Tanzania, including First Lady Rachel Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
Koito is an important Kalenjin tradition that allows two families to formalize a marriage arrangement and discuss customary requirements, including bride wealth.
Isaya Yunge is a Tanzanian technology entrepreneur and founder of SomaApps Technologies.
With the bridal shower now celebrated, attention is turning to the couple’s white wedding, although an official date has not been publicly announced.
