President William Ruto on Sunday, April 20, 2025, joined congregants for Easter Sunday service in Ntulele, Narok County, marking the culmination of the Christian Holy Week in a spiritual setting.
Accompanied by several government officials and local leaders, the Head of State participated in the joyous celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ alongside local residents.
In a statement posted earlier on his X account, Ruto extended heartfelt wishes to Christians observing the resurrection.
“May this Easter bring you renewed hope and joy, just as the resurrection of Jesus Christ brought new life to the world,” Ruto wrote.
Ruto’s easter message
This year, Ruto took an unconventional approach by sharing his Easter message on TikTok—a move that surprised many and garnered considerable public attention.
In the video, shared on Friday, April 18, 2025, he extended his well-wishes to the nation while urging road safety during the busy travel season.
“Please be safe on the roads and be blessed. To all families, all the friends and every Kenyan, Happy Easter,” Ruto stated.
Messages from other leaders
Other national leaders also marked the holiday with personal messages of reflection and encouragement.
Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, in his address, called for peace and reconciliation, particularly across Africa.
He used the Easter occasion to reflect on the redemptive power of suffering and the promise of renewal.
“This Easter, we are reminded that out of suffering, salvation comes. That, from the silence of the tomb, new life rises. And that no night, no matter how long, can overcome the promise of dawn,” Mudavadi stated on April 18, 2025.
“As Christians around the world mark the resurrection of Christ, we are called not only to rejoice but also to reflect,” he added.
In his Easter message, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka urged Kenyans to use the Easter holidays as a period of spiritual rebirth and national awareness.
“As we celebrate Easter, I ask each and every one of us to pause and reflect on the life, sacrifice, and message of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Easter is a precious remembrance of Christ’s journey to Calvary, which he took not for himself, but for the salvation of all mankind. Let this be a period of spiritual rebirth and national awareness. Wishing you all a blessed Easter,” Kalonzo stated.
