On Christmas Eve, Sunday, December 24, the deputy president joined the faithful of PCEA Karatina Church for the day's service.

"It was such an inspiration and a huge blessing. It was a special moment of supplication to God at this period of renewed hope. With this one big family of God, it was a pleasant and fulfilling way of preparing to receive Jesus Christ in our hearts," he said.

Earlier, President William Ruto hosted hundreds of Sugoi locals at his native residence.

What did Ruto offer Kenyans at Sugoi?

Kenyans drawn from Uasin Gishu and the neighbouring Kakamega and Nandi counties jammed roads as goodies were offloaded from several lorries.

The president actively participated in the exercise by handing the residents packets of wheat flour, cooking oil and rice in a yellow bag.

Ruto was accompanied by Mama Rachel Ruto, who kick-started the event with a powerful prayer.

Other leaders present at the event included Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja and Uasin Gishu governor Jonathan Bii, among others.

Some residents explained that the head of state has been consistent in the exercise, but this year has attracted a huge following.

Elsewhere, former president Uhuru Kenyatta blessed a section of Ruiru residents with early Christmas.

The locals had gathered at the JCM Church headquarters headed by Pastor Benson Kiengei.

How much money did Uhuru donate for Christmas?

Uhuru revealed he had been invited to come on board to bolster an initiative started by the church to support poor households in the Christmas festivities.

Taking cognisance of the prevalent state of the economy, he sympathised with the families which he noted were facing it rough.

He thus offered them KSh 1 million for Christmas goodies.

"Your pastor called me to tell me that he is having a party for those who are not able to provide for themselves in these difficult times. I told him I could not abandon our people and that whatever he doing, I would top him up. I have told him I will extend KSh 1 million so that he can buy unga for more people," he said.

He further promised to unite with them soon.

"I wish you happy holidays to you all and your families and may God solve the problems we are going through," he said.

All the while, the excited congregants affirmatively responded to Uhuru's talk with lots of cheers.
