| A prayer for a husband for the daughter of the Kenyan president, | |
| Charlene Ruto, has sparked a flurry of online reactions in Kenya. | |
| The president’s daughter was among thousands that attended a crusade | |
| by the American preacher Benny Hinn over the weekend in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. | |
| President William Ruto and the first lady, as well as Deputy President | |
| Rigathi Gachagua and his wife, Dorcas, were also in attendance. | |
| As the preacher asked for those with prayer requests to come forward, | |
| the president’s daughter rose up, seeking prayers for the calling she said she has for | |
| young people. | |
| The preacher prayed for her and later asked if there were any | |
| special requests. She whispered into his ear before he continued praying: | |
| “Give her a husband that will fulfil that call with her. Lord | |
| send that young man her way, that will be a strength to her, a great supporter,” | |
| Benny Hinn prayed. | |
| “She can’t do this alone, Lord, she is going to the battlefield | |
| to win souls…she needs a husband soon.” | |
| The prayer for her husband has sent Kenyans talking, some criticising, | |
| some sending their marriage proposals to her, some mocking her. | |
| “My name is Omwamba, a hustler and I am | |
| reaching out to you after witnessing your heartfelt request for a husband | |
| during your prayer session with the Pastor Benny Hinn. I was moved by your | |
| sincerity and the faith you demonstrated yesterday and God has sent me your way,” | |
| one Kenyan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. | |
| Some have been supportive: “There is nothing | |
| wrong with Charlene Ruto asking Benny Hinn to pray for her to get a good | |
| husband. Marriage is sacred,” another Kenyan said. | |
