ACK Pastor appeals to Ruto to help secure job for his daughter
ACK Pastor appeals to Ruto to help secure job for his daughter
An Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) pastor on Sunday made an unusual public appeal to President William Ruto, urging him to intervene in securing employment for university graduates from his congregation.
Addressing the President during a church service, the pastor said although many parents had successfully educated their children through to university, job opportunities remained scarce, leaving families frustrated.
The Pastor singled out several cases, among them a young man scheduled to attend an interview at the Kenya Maritime Authority.
He appealed to the President to “look into his matter,” framing the request as a way to promote hope among Christian youth.
“Those who we took to school have finished university. The others whom we took to school have not yet been employed. Now President Ruto, you are a member of our church, and it is not good to see other congregants unemployed when you have the ability to help them,” he said.

In a rare personal disclosure, the pastor also asked Ruto to consider his daughter noting that she holds a university degree but has struggled to secure work.
“We also have my daughter, if I’m requesting work for others, please consider my daughter also. She has a degree; I will be happy. If you consider her, I shall be praying for you day in day out,” he said.
The Pastor added that continued prayers for the President would follow any assistance rendered.
This is even as Kenya’s job market continues to absorb only a fraction of the country’s growing cadre of graduates, prompting repeated calls for government-backed pathways into public service and emerging industries.
Ruto on Sunday attended a church service at ACK St Paul’s Church Kariki, Othaya, Nyeri County.
Ruto flew into the county and was received at the church by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
Other leaders who received the President included Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe. Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga and Nyeri Woman Rep Rahab Mukami.
