“An educated population contributes positively to the development and prosperity of the nation, hence the need for those graduating to offer their skills towards achieving the goal of building a better country for all.” The President said.
Most Kenyans have congratulated Ruto on his latest achievement that came on the same day he was born. It is also the day he got married to Mama Rachel Ruto.
