Like her or not, Rachael Ruto is a prayerful person who believes in the power of prayer to break every chain.
Unlike many other faithfuls whose prayers are regarded genuine and necessary, Kenyans have often criticized Mrs Ruto. Could it be because of the controversies involving her husband?

This comes at a time when people are reportedly dying of hunger in Baringo and Turkana counties even as the government rubbishes the reports.

“We are not behind schedule to the situation as a government. The food situation is stable and prices within acceptable margins,” he said.

Rachael Ruto was also a victim of social media critics after Dennis Itumbi took it to his media account to mock her donations to the starving Kenyans.
