President William Ruto celebrated his birthday on Saturday, December 21, turning 58 years old. As expected, the head of state who has been President for barely two years, received a fair share of heartwarming and not-so-kind messages. While many wished him well, others felt like Ruto was the man behind all their problems on the planet.
Family members, senior government officials and ordinary took to social media to pen something about Ruto, a former Member of Parliament, Minister, and Deputy President, who defied all the odds, including beating the system to occupy the house on the hill.
First lady Mama Rachel Ruto expressed her affection and gratitude noting that this day also marks their wedding anniversary.
“Happy birthday, my dear Bill! As we celebrate your special day and our wedding anniversary, I am grateful to God for the special gift you are to us.
Your devotion as a husband and father is an incredible blessing to us all. Happy birthday, my love!” wrote Rachel.
