Renowned Kenyan pastor and motivation speaker based in the US Dr. Kinyanjui Nganga Jacob has written an open letter to Deputy President William Ruto urging him to slow down in the race to State House.
Dr. Jacob, one of the most popular life coaches and conference speakers, tells DP Ruto to pursue his State House dreams with ambition because the kids and Rachel need him.
"Listening to you in the last couple of weeks, your heart is very heavy. Please relax. What are you lacking? Your ambition is not worth your life. You’ve dangerously stretched your heart. I know it. I suffered heart failure last year. Slow down my brother. The race to State House is not a life and death affair.
"Vice Presidents Michael Kijana Wamalwa and George Saitoti perhaps had a better chance than H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed President Mwai Kibaki, regrettably, they never lived to see post-Kibaki Kenya.

"H.E. Morgan Tsvangirai was widely expected to replace Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. But his presidency never materialized. Albert Luthuli and Steve Biko never lived to see post-apartheid South Africa.
"Pursue your dreams with moderation. Rachel and your kids need you. Kenya will be there long after you and I are gone. No matter our strategies and hard-work, promotion comes from God (Psalm 75:6-7)," Part of the letter reads.

Dr. Jacob's letter adds, " Neither Uhuru nor Kibaki worked half as you do for the presidency. And none of these two presidents have sacrificed half of what Raila Odinga and Kenneth Matiba have suffered. We plan but God’s purposes prevail over our plans (Proverbs 19:21).
"I’m praying for God to keep you in perfect health and peace. Just do what you must. Don’t kill yourself to prove a point to your competitors. It’s never that serious. While you’re compromising what matters the most - your health and family - to be the next Commander in Chief, most of your country men and women are praying for the basics of life.
"Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
DP Ruto has been on the campaign trail after declaring his State House bid.
