Ruto message of hope to Kenyans during the Easter holiday
President William Ruto has shared an early morning message to Kenyans in a bid to lift their spirits during this Easter period.
In his message, Ruto noted that he is aware of the people’s frustrations, sufferings, and deprivations.
However, the Head of State challenged those going through hard times to keep their heads up and focus on overcoming their life shortfalls.
“There is no life, place or time in this world without its share of sufferings, deprivations, and frustrations. The Easter message of hope does not deny the existence of heavy burdens and depressing setbacks with which we must struggle. Rather, it tells us as individuals that through discipline, combining a steadfast commitment to sound values with determined hard work, we too can triumph over adversity, transcend our challenges, and find happiness, success, and prosperity in our lifetime,” he stated.
“As communities and as a nation, we find encouragement in the knowledge that with a sound plan of action, solidarity, and devotion to integrity and efficiency, we can work our way through the most daunting of obstacles and build a secure foundation for present and future generations to share the abundance of this great land,” he added.

While alluding to the Crucifixion and Ressurection story of Jesus Christ in the Bible, Ruto urged Kenyans to emulate the example and focus on overcoming their tribulations.
“Let us, therefore, contemplate the divine example of our Lord, who endured the worst suffering and ultimate loss in order to achieve an unprecedented triumph, which has inspired thousands of generations, billions of people in hundreds of nations throughout the world. Let us apply the sacred lesson, that from the very bottom, in a tomb, our Teacher and Saviour rose up victoriously and went up to partake of the glory of Heaven.”
Nonetheless, Ruto wished Kenyans a blessed Easter with their families urging them to maximise the opportunity to build strong bonds and foster love. He also asked Kenyans to share with the vulnerable during this period.
“Let us celebrate this miraculous model now, and throughout our life as we serve God, build our nation, and work for humanity. Let us take time to be there for our fellow humans, and remember to stand with those in need of prayer, a kind word, a warm meal, clothes to wear or a place to stay. From us here, together with our family, we send the best wishes for a Happy Easter to you and your families.”
