After the Head of State urged 25-year-olds to settle down during a high-profile wedding, one bold citizen has taken the advice literally—directing his affections toward the First Daughter.

A daring Kenyan suitor has publicly sought the hand of First Daughter Charlene Ruto, turning President William Ruto’s own advice on early marriage into a viral challenge.
The audacious proposal comes just days after the President, speaking at the wedding of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi’s son, explicitly challenged Generation Z to prioritize family life—a directive that has sparked both debate and unexpected responses across social platforms.
The catalyst for this bold move was a speech delivered by the Head of State on Saturday, November 29, at the Ulinzi Sports Stadium. While gracing the union of Moses Mudamba and his longtime partner Quilian Saiya, President Ruto did not mince words regarding his expectations for the youth.
Accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto, the President used the occasion to underscore the sanctity and stability of the family unit. In his address, he specifically turned his attention to the demographic cohort known as Gen Z.
Taking the President at his word, a Kenyan man—whose identity has quickly gained traction online—seized the moment to ask for Charlene Ruto’s hand. The move is seen by social commentators as a mix of genuine admiration and satirical compliance with the President's order.
Charlene, often vocal about her own initiatives and youth empowerment, has now found herself at the center of the very conversation her father ignited. While the First Family has yet to respond to this specific suitor, the incident highlights the unique pressure placed on public figures' children to model the values espoused by their parents.
As the dust settles on the Mudamba wedding, the conversation has shifted from the nuptials to a broader national dialogue on when, and how, the Kenyan youth should marry in 2025.
