Rachel Ruto, the first lady, urged women to be excellent spouses by sticking with their husbands.
The first lady stated that every woman should make an effort to assist her husband and have faith in their talents, quoting the well-known Proverbs 18:22, which reads, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.”
Mama Rachel urged the wives to participate in their husbands’ leadership roles after meeting the National Assembly Lady Spouses Association, a group of women who are spouses to serving Members of Parliament.
“Behind the men who have given their lives in the service of the people and country are a breed of noble women, oftentimes unrecognized, who keep pushing them to deliver nothing but the best,” said Rachel.
“Today, at Statehouse, Nairobi, I met the Board members and shared with them my own experiences as a spouse to a seasoned political leader, now the President. I challenge them to move from the rear and actively be involved in their spouses’ lives and leadership roles,” said Rachel.
She also called upon them to stay beside their men and be a pillar upon which the legacies of their husbands and families are built.
