God bless you! Ruto wishes Uhuru Happy Birthday as he turns 60

 

Deputy President William Ruto has led Kenyans in wishing President Uhuru Kenyatta a happy birthday as he turns 60 today.

Uhuru was born on October 26, 1961, to Kenya’s founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and Mama Ngina Kenyatta.

Via Twitter on Tuesday, Ruto prayed for the success of Uhuru.

''Please join me in wishing our leader, the president, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, a happy birthday, and to pray for his success as he guides the nation towards a greater promise, 'he said.

''God bless you, sir; To many, many more!''

State House also wished him well saying: ''May God the Almighty continue uplifting you as you steer Kenya to greater heights of prosperity. ''

Last year, the President turned 59 when the country was unveiling the Building Bridges Initiative whose proponents say was aimed at uniting the country.

Those at the auditorium stood to their feet during the launch as they sang a happy birthday to the President.

Uhuru and his counterpart ODM leader Raila Odinga were championing for the report.

But the Court of Appeal in August upheld the High Court ruling that the Building Bridges Initiative was null and void and its processes were unconstitutional.

In a majority decision, six of the seven-judge-bench headed by the court’s president Daniel Musinga tore into the BBI process, declaring several stages and actions unconstitutional and unlawful.   BY THE STAR
