Kenyan President’s Daughter’s Prayer for Husband Sparks Debate

In a recent mass prayer meeting led by American preacher Benny Hinn in Nairobi, Kenya, Charlene Ruto, the daughter of Kenya’s President William Ruto, made headlines with her prayer request for a husband, sparking a flurry of reactions nationwide.

Charlene was among the thousands in attendance, including President Ruto and the First Lady, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and his wife, Dorcas Rigathi. As Hinn invited attendees to share their prayer requests, Charlene stood up, expressing her desire for prayers for the calling she felt towards young people.

During the prayer, Hinn beseeched the Lord to grant Charlene a husband who would support her in her mission to serve the youth. He prayed for a partner who would stand by her side, providing strength and encouragement as she ventured into the battlefield to win souls.

The prayer’s public nature and focus on Charlene‘s marital status quickly became a topic of discussion among Kenyans, with opinions ranging from criticism to support. Some individuals mocked the request, while others extended marriage proposals to Charlene via social media platforms.

However, amidst the varied responses, some defended Charlene‘s prayer, emphasizing the sacredness of marriage and expressing solidarity with her desire for companionship and support in her endeavours.

As the debate continues to unfold online, Charlene‘s prayer for a husband serves as a reminder of the intersection between faith, personal aspirations, and public scrutiny in Kenya’s social and political landscape.
