Secretary for Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the President Dennis Itumbi on Saturday penned a message to Deputy President William Ruto who is celebrating his 53rd birthday.
Dr Ruto will be visiting Makerere University in Uganda on his birthday where he has been honoured with William Ruto Institute.
The institute within Makerere University will be launched on Saturday in presence of Uganda leader Yoweri Museveni.
In his message, Itumbi has portrayed Ruto as a prayerful man, hinting that all those who work in his office pray every Wednesday.
"The fact that we pray together for self, family and the Nation every Wednesday - bonds us in a way that is only unique to you," he said.
Itumbi further termed his friendship with Ruto as true, adding that they have known closely each other for nine years.
"I pray that your birthday, begins the short two year journey to the fulfilment of the dream of a sunrise whose Golden rays are shaping beautifully and elegantly in the daily horizon of your hard work, sincerity and sacrifice," he said.
"I am happy to call you a friend, a practical mentor, a boss, my Deputy President and God Willing the 5th President of The Republic of Kenya."
Ruto was first elected in 1997 to represent Eldoret North constituency at the age of 31. The Constituency has since been partitioned to Soy and Turbo.
