Mr Ruto, who was accompanied by close family members, Information Minister Samuel Poghisio and former Turkana Central legislator Ekwe Ethuro, was overcome with emotions at faith Evangelical Ministries in Karen.
“I have not cried like this for many years. The only time I remember crying like this was when I was a little boy and my mother is here to attest to that. My wife knew me as a strong man because she never seen me emotional like this,” Ruto stated.
Ruto said God, in a special way, had given the Jubilee Coalition victory in March 4 General Election.
“The same God who gave us victory against all odds will do more exceedingly and abundantly for us. It will be more than the people of Kenya want. God is going to do great things for this country,” Ruto said.
Efforts by his wife Rachael, who was beside him at the dais to calm him down proved futile as she too got carried away and also wept alongside her husband, as they were both overcome by emotions
