Kenya’s President, H.E. William Ruto, has disclosed his future plans once his tenure as president concludes. In a surprising revelation, Ruto announced that he intends to become an evangelist, which he describes as his true calling before entering the political arena.
During a recent address, President Ruto shared that his deep-rooted connection to his faith will guide his path after politics. “I have given a commitment that when I finish my tour of duty as a president, I will go back to being an evangelist. That is my original calling,” he stated.
Ruto, who has spent many years in politics and achieved his goal of becoming president, acknowledged that his time in office will eventually come to an end. He emphasized his understanding that leadership roles are temporary and expressed a desire to return to serving the Lord, a role he fulfilled before his political career.
The announcement comes amidst a period of significant challenges during his presidency. Ruto has faced criticism for unfulfilled promises and has dealt with widespread protests, particularly from Kenya’s younger generation, known as Gen Z. The protests, fueled by economic hardships and government spending issues, even led to the dismissal of his entire cabinet in an effort to address the public’s concerns.
As Ruto continues to navigate the complexities of his presidency, his declaration of returning to evangelism highlights a deeply personal connection to his faith, one that he plans to embrace fully after his time in office concludes.
