Ruto meets Uhuru’s sister, Kristina Pratt at the state house as an advocate for the rights of physically challenged persons.
Former President Uhuru’s sister, Kristina Pratt accompanied by other members of the Board of Trustees of the National Fund for the Disabled of Kenya, met President William Ruto at the State House in Nairobi.
Pratt briefed Ruto on her objectives and the work her organization does to advance the rights of those who are physically challenged in the country during the meeting.
In their first meeting following the change in power, the board also discussed some of its accomplishments and long-term objectives with the Head of State.
Following the presentation, Ruto promised to support the Pratt-led board in accordance with his Bottom Up Economic Model.

“The Government will support people living with disabilities and the institutions that work to empower them,” a despatch from State House read in part.
“We will keep our promises to this community and ensure it is a full part of the Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda,” Ruto added.
Her contribution to the sector is immense, spanning over 4 decades. Pratt’s achievements include establishing the Kenya Insitute of Special Education (KISE) to train special needs tutors.
In 1980, Pratt was recognized by former US President Jimmy Carter following her contribution to empowering Persons with Disabilities (PWD).
Her entry into politics was imminent after Jubilee Party nominated her for a senate position on July 27, 2022. However, she failed to make the cut.
Pratt’s meeting with Ruto came days after Mama Ngina made a rare public appearance on Thursday, April 20, urging Kenyans to maintain peace for the country’s development.
“You being the younger generation, I plead that you continue maintaining peace for this country, and you should know that we brought this country from far.
“We are here to show you an example of how that is possible,” the former first lady stated.
Mama Ngina spoke after aiding Field Marshall Muthoni Kirima to clear a Ksh4.7 million bank loan and bought her a three-bedroomed house.
