Why is this photo of Suzan Kihiga and Rachel Ruto, who is the wife of the current President of Kenya, trending in the media today? Why are people whispering in a very hush hush manner about the goings-on at State House? Unfortunately, we too at Rafeekee do not know so we can’t enlighten you. However, it seems that rumours which did the rounds many years ago, when it was alleged that Rachel had left and gone to stay with her brother at Umoja Estate are resurfacing.
Here are the trending pictures: This first one talks about why Ruto forced his wife to stop cycling.
This one was posted by Wachira suggesting that there is some BDSM going on at State House.
This next one is of Susan and Ruto seated together at a New Year’s Eve party at State House.
At Rafeekee, we are mere observers. In case you find out, let us know in the comments section below what could be going on.

“A photo of First Lady Rachel Ruto looking tired and unhappy at the New Year celebrations at State House Nakuru has gone viral on social media, sparking a debate among Kenyans about her physical health and well-being.ย The photo which shows Rachel seated next to Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika was taken on Sunday when President William Ruto led the festivities to usher in 2024.ย ย However, away from the glamour and joy at State House, many Kenyans on social media were concerned about the First Ladyโs physical appearance and noticeably subdued expression.ย Posts like “Despite her busy schedule, I cannot remember Margaret Kenyatta looking this tired in her second year as First Lady,” and “There are unknown battles everyone fightsโฆ Clearly, our First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto doesn’t look okay here,” have dominated social media feeds since the photo went viral.
In the age of social media, the masses dissect and analyze every glance and every crease in every image.ย Naturally, theories abound.ย In this case, some have whispered of secret battles and hidden burdens weighing down the nation’s prayer warrior.ย Could it be the weight of a nation’s prayers, the relentless spiritual warfare that leaves even the most devout weary? Perhaps, after all, holding back the darkness is no easy feat.ย On the other side, this story perhaps confirms what we all know: that public figures, even those seemingly blessed with divine intervention, are human after all.ย They too get tired and deserve a break from battling demons (both literal and metaphorical).ย But before we all rush to offer Mama Rachel a spa day voucher, remember this: appearances can be deceiving.ย Perhaps that pensive gaze is not what we all assume to be exhaustion, but righteous indignation at a rogue demon.ย The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between.
Whatever the reason behind the First Lady’s photo-op expression, one thing is certain: As we step into 2024, a year sure to be rife with challenges and triumphs, we will be watching closely to see how Mama Rachel and the First Family navigate public scrutiny.”
