Gen Z Boy Breaks Down, Pleads with Ruto to Help his Mother

A young Gen Z boy, Kinyanjui, stole the show at a church event after breaking down with a special request for President William Ruto.

While attending the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Kenya service in Nairobi on Sunday, October 12, President Ruto encountered the young man and his mother during his address to the congregants.

In an emotional moment, the Gen Z boy approached Ruto at the podium, hugged him, and delivered a heartfelt message. The boy could be heard tearfully pleading with the Head of State to help his mother.

“Please help my mother,” Kinyanjui said.

While responding, President Ruto promised to speak with the boy’s mother later and make plans to assist her. In addition, the Head of State praised the woman for raising her son well and urged other parents to follow in her footsteps.

“Tutaketi chini na mama ya Huyu Kijana nimpange (We will sit down with this boy’s mother and make plans for her). I’m also a parent and I want to thank you (mother to the Gen Z Boy) for bringing up this young man. He is a great event example of what other people should be.” Ruto said

The emotional encounter sparked mixed reactions among social media users, as seen below:

“Mama’s boy… their hearts are always with their mothers. Be blessed, our sons,” reacted Selina Misoi.

Another user encouraged the young boy to take advantage of the rare opportunity to meet President Ruto and seek help for his mother, noting that such chances don’t come twice.

“Opportunity comes once, ukipata grab na mkono mbili,” wrote Omondi Adams.

“Gen Z mwerevu huyu. Hakuna kama mama,” commented Bitok Ben Bella, praising the boy for wisely using the moment to ask for help for his mother.

“Sijui kwanini natoa machozi,” shared Eric Nguttuh, admitting that the scene made him emotional.
