"Actually, I am thinking, how can someone forget about a birthday," she posed.
In response, the First Lady explained that being the Head of State, Ruto is often dealing with several things, therefore, he may tend to forget.
"You know our President is very busy. You can understand," Mama Rachel responded.
Afterwards, the local kids led by Elsie also surprised the First Lady with a birthday cake.
Earlier, Ruto wished his wife a happy birthday on social media, describing her as a pillar of their family.
