29th November, 2025 10:53 PM
President William Ruto has urged individuals aged 25 and above, both men and women, to embrace marriage and steer clear of the trend of club-hopping.
Speaking during the wedding of Moses Mudavadi, son of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Qillian Saiya, daughter of former GSU Commandant William Atswenje Saiya and former Kakamega Senator Naomi Masitsa Shiyonga, on Saturday, November 29, 2025, Ruto challenged the young people not to shy away from entering into lifelong partnerships with the love of their lives.
He specifically urged the men not to avoid responsibilities by clinging to their single status but to accept the idea of marriage.
“Those of you who are above the age of 25, get married. Wacha kuzunguka unatoka kwa club hii inaingia kwa club hii unaenda hio ingine,” he emphasised.
“If you are a man, be man enough to marry the woman you love. Because we have so many people who ran away from responsibility… I want to encourage the men in this room to be man enough and marry the woman you love,” the head of state added during the marriage ceremony at the Sayia family residence in Malava Constituency.
Drug abuse menace
At the same time, Ruto, who attended the lavish wedding accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto, decried the rate of drug abuse in the country.
In a fatherly tone, the president stressed that the nation was hurting, seeing young people overindulge and end up losing life focus.
“We lose very many young people, and it is on such a family occasion that I must say to our young people, let us avoid the abuse of substances,” Ruto remarked.
“There are very many young people who are destroyed by alcohol and drugs and we must speak about it as parents. We are hurting as a nation. I want to ask you, our sons and daughters, we love you so much, we want you to be successful, we will hand over this nation to you, please stay sober, be responsible,” he detailed.
