President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki have collectively donated ten million shillings to support the children of the late gospel singer Betty Bayo. Deputy President Kindiki announced the contribution at the singer's funeral in Kiambu, specifying that five million shillings came from himself, and an equal amount was sent by President Ruto for the children's education.
The donation follows a separate contribution of one million shillings from former President Uhuru Kenyatta for funeral arrangements. He eulogized Betty Bayo as an extraordinary gospel minister whose music provided hope and inspiration. The singer, best known for her hit song "11th Hour," passed away earlier this month. She was widely recognized for her significant impact on Kenya's gospel music scene and entertainment industry.
