Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>First Lady Rachael Ruto celebrated Fathers’ Day with a special and moving tribute to her husband, President William Ruto.<\/p>\n

Rachael celebrated Ruto for being a responsible father and good teacher to their children as the world marked Fathers’ Day on June 18.<\/p>\n

“Get the sheen right.”<\/p>\n

In her message, the First Lady compared Ruto\u2019s mode of instilling values in the children to that of her own father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have many fond memories of my father. But what has stayed with me through the years are the moments spent polishing his shoes. My father would make me polish his shoes in front of a mirror. And, whenever I thought I had achieved the perfect lustre, he would make me brush some more. My young hands would grow tired until I got the perfect shine,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said Ruto, whom she referred to as Bill, has been doing the same with their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it’s every father’s thing. To teach without telling. Today, as we mark this Fathers’ Day, I celebrate all the fathers who teach their children that, in everything they do, they must endeavour to “get the sheen right!”,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
