President Ruto honored environmental activist Truphena Muthoni at State House following her 72-hour tree-hugging marathon in Nyeri. He appointed her as an ambassador for the national 15 Billion Tree Planting Campaign and awarded her a state commendation medal.
The president praised her unconventional methods for raising awareness about forest conservation. Her recent attempt to break a world record was her second such endurance feat, drawing significant public attention.
Government agencies like the Wildlife Service and Tourism Board rewarded her team with a sponsored vacation. The Environment Ministry also pledged support for her goal of visiting Brazil to learn about global conservation efforts. A light moment occurred when Muthoni jokingly challenged Ruto to try tree-hugging himself, to which he laughingly declined.
