Charlene Ruto Prepares for Traditional Kalenjin Engagement Ceremony

Charlene Ruto, daughter of President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto, is set for her traditional engagement and farewell event today at 10 a.m. in Kilgoris Town, Narok County.

The groom is Tanzanian entrepreneur Isaiah Yunke, founder of SomaApp, which links Africans to scholarships, and a Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 honoree.

This milestone follows a prayer by televangelist Benny Hinn nearly two years ago for her to find a supportive husband, with Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan among expected guests. Online updates show early preparations and warm congratulations tying back to that moment.
