At the same time, the First Lady celebrated all fathers across the country for the sacrifices and work they do for their families.
“To all the amazing dads out there: Today, we celebrate you. We see the quiet strength it takes to shoulder responsibilities, the long hours worked to provide, and the countless sacrifices made out of love,” said Mama Rachel.
She added, “We cherish the guidance you give, the lessons you teach, and the safe haven you create. Your dedication in raising your children well, shaping them with patience, wisdom, and support, is the most profound gift. Thank you for every effort, big and small. You are deeply appreciated.”
President Ruto’s daughter, Charlene Ruto, also took to her X account to celebrate him on Father’s Day.
“Many know you and look at you as their president, leader, mentor, friend, but I lovingly call you my dad. Happy Father's Day,” Charlene wrote.
Father's Day is a day used to honour one's father, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.
