First Lady Rachel Ruto is now urging farmers across the country to till their farms before the arrival of rains, which she assures are just around the corner following drought prayers.
Mrs. Ruto expressed confidence on Tuesday during the National Prayer Service at Nyayo Stadium that God had heard the nation’s cries about the ongoing drought and that the situation would soon change.
She even cited the scattered afternoon clouds as a sign of answered prayers.
“I know that the God that we have prayed to in the city of Nairobi today is the God that has heard our prayers, here and even in the counties,” Ruto said.
“We know that the counties have been affected very much because of this drought, especially the ASAL areas… today we have prayed, we can see the clouds have formed, and we know the rains are coming. Just like the clergy has said, go and prepare your farms because the rains are coming.”
The First Lady, who thanked President William Ruto’s regime for holding the prayer day, stated that the government was deeply concerned about the well-being of all its citizens.
She urged everyone in attendance to pray for the Kenya Kwanza administration to succeed in its plans for the country.
“I can tell you that our president thinks about your every day, God has given him a great plan for this nation. As we continue to pray for this presidency, God is going to help them fulfil their mandate,” she stated.
